The long environmental nightmare had ended. Planet Earth had been healed. Its beauty and majesty had been restored by a race of evolving human descendants known as the Mirsiens. They had prevailed against those who would have used the knowledge and the power for themselves alone. Now, with the home world renewed, the time had come for the Mirsiens to reach for the stars. Taya G. Xallnyk is one of them. She seeks her place in the universe and the answers to all things unknown. She also commands the Outrunner vessel Oasis ValiMirum as it travels deep into the constellation of Orion. The vessel is a living, evolving entity in itself; a technological masterpiece in both form and function; a magnificent structure of almost unimaginable power. Others join the Mirsiens along the way. Together, they experience the frigid cold depths of space, the searing hot plains of Xolnon III, the conflicts with the Maljex, the mysterious spacial particle field, and the foreboding canyon on Zantauva. Their voyage is an incredible journey from one dimensional portal to the next as they travel through their wondrous and perilous galaxy.
