Commander Koenig is dying, severly injured when the Eagle craft in which
he has been carrying out explorations goes out of control and crashes on the moon's surface. But he seems to be
alive and well, without any sign of his injuries, as he makes off on his own. However, he finds Main Mission completely
deserted except for the sudden, unexpected appearance of an incredibly lovely girl. She smiles and then vanishes.
Puzzled, he goes to the Main Console and presses the big screen button and finds himself looking at
an unbelievably beautiful, futuristic world, the strange and elegant buildings in the shapes of different bright colours.
The room spins. Koenig finds himself in the midst of a purple void. He is on the planet
Zenno - a planet consisting entirely of light. Koenig has been brought there by the man now addressing him. His
name is Raan, a strikingly dressed, but gentle figure.
Koenig is now five million light years away from Earth. Zenno's existence will not be discovered
by Earthmen for many years, perhaps never. But the breakaway moon has come close.
Back on the moon, Doctor Helena Russell is fighting to save Koenig's life. Two of his travelling
companions, Professor Bergman and Sandra Benes, who have also been injured in the Eagle crash, are in a serious condition.
The beautiful girl Koenig has seen so fleetingly reappears. She is Raan's daughter Vana.
She looks incredibly young but tells him she is 218 years old; her father is 508. The life span on Zenno is ten times
that on Earth. It is Vana who explains that her father is a foremost anthropologist and that his reason for bringing
Koenig to Zenno is to learn about the past, and Earth, from him first hand.
Vana is clearly attracted to Commander Koenig. It is a new emotion for her. Her father
is the first to realise that she is experiencing the emotion of love. Koenig sees that his only chance of ever getting
back to his own people is to trade on that love. Only Vana can influence her father. It becomes a battle between
him and Raan.
On the moon, there seems to be little hope of saving Koenig. Helena is relying on the life support
system to keep John Koenig alive.
Raan is using Sandra to try to influence Koenig, who by now is struggling against his own feelings
of love for Vana. It would be easy to spend his future with her. But his real life, he knows, is back on the moon.
His only hope now is to exert the forces of another type of love - the love of a father for his daughter. But time is
running short. Raan has warned him. Only one can survive, the Earth Koenig or his image ...
