The team of the sectoral station, consisting of those who miraculously escaped in the disaster of the Sephes Transport Network, the Mad Bard and three people, one of whom is a mysterious madman nicknamed the Fiddler, find themselves prisoners on Madang, a planet at one time isolated by Control from other universe. But this is only the first step on their new journey home, full of deadly dangers. Or to where the revival of life can begin. Maybe, if not for the global threat from a new, unknown force, which even the Order of Aarn cannot counter with anything yet. A force that, with a prayer for goodness, destroys trillions of lives and thousands of worlds.
