Set in an indeterminate future where the natural resources of all local solar systems in the proximity of Earth have been consumed. Rocket ships are sent to unexplored ‘far universes’ to find ‘virgin’ planets to exploit. One of these ships touches down on ‘Planet Seven of Star System Eighty-Four’ and the astronauts quickly discover this is a planet like no other, one that not only seems to be sentient in some mysterious way, but is capable of manifesting anything the individual crew member desires. All but one of the astronauts is utterly enchanted by the planet and an argument quickly erupts out over the nature of their mission, one which has deadly consequences for the entire crew.
