The protagonist, Gregg Haljan, is joined by Anita Prince and Venza in their quest to understand this interstellar visitor while facing various threats, including a Martian pirate named Molo, who is potentially linked to the invader. The opening of the novel introduces the main characters engaging in a discussion about the unusual planet that has entered the solar system. Gregg reveals the calculated distance of the object and the anomalies surrounding it, such as its ability to alter its trajectory like a spacecraft, which raises suspicion about its true nature. As the conversation unfolds, it becomes clear that there are imminent threats involving interplanetary politics and dangerous individuals. Characters like Snap Dean, a radio-helio operator, join them in a secretive plan orchestrated by Colonel Halsey, adding to the tension. The narrative sets the stage for an adventure filled with conflict, intrigue, and the search for answers, as they become embroiled in events that may determine the fate of Earth and its neighboring planets.
