Far, far from Earth and thousands of light-years away is a place known as the Great Rift that separates our universe from an alternate other, where space is white, and the stars are black. In that universe are unimaginable worlds, some larger than the Earth's sun, and things that defy human logic. Things that are meant to stay on their side of that protective barrier, but as impenetrable as it is, something did manage to penetrate it and reaped havoc on the far side of our universe. It was a ghastly maggot-like organism called Yethla with an insatiable desire to consume protoplasm. If it were not for an advanced race of beings known as Vorxans, this menace would have eventually spread across our universe, destroying, and feasting on all living and nonliving protoplasm in its path. This is the story of how this advanced race of beings was able to finally penetrate the Great Rift and discover what lies beyond the sea of stars.

Far out across the sea of stars is an inverted universe where space is white and the stars are black. This universe is beyond an anomaly known as the Great Rift, which separates our universe from an infinity of abstract galaxies, planetary systems, and beings totally alien to anything known or imagined on our side of the universe. In this inverted universe is a hideous organism known as Yethla. It is confined to its own universe by the Great Rift until, one day, it finds a way to break through the barrier and enter our side of the universe.This is the story about the NSA2275 mining ship and its crew who leave the Jupiter Perimeter Space Dock in the year 2402 on an exploratory mission to locate a rare mineral in a far distant galaxy. What they find on a desolate planet has been buried for over a million years and will change their lives forever and open their eyes to what is far beyond the sea of stars.
