On instructions from a galactic research center, scientists travel to an inhabited planet to understand its secrets. The Galactic Council is haunted by the information received - in a distant world there are unknown forces at work that are transforming the world. The heroes' task is to investigate and describe the anomalies. But won't an ordinary expedition become a turning point in their lives? What does this mysterious planet hide? What creatures will the heroes encounter? What labyrinths of consciousness will they look into to understand the life of the Nine Worlds? The story of four heroic explorers begins. The book should not be taken literally, and much of what is written makes sense in the hands of an experienced seeker.
