And this time they've got a planet to save.The Zang, an elder race of the galaxy, may be a shrinking population, but they're also intelligent, curious, and powerful.

Eager to witness this first hand, Lieutenant Lord Thomas Kinago, accompanied as always by his personal assistant Parsons, sets out on a several-week jaunt to see the Zang destroy a moon to enhance the beauty of a star system.
But the trip is sidelined when Kinago's uncle offers to take him to the seldom seen human homeworld, Earth.
