Humanity has expanded into interstellar space using ancient star gates, but the technology attracts the hostile Fallers, an alien race intent on genocide. Facing total defeat, humans discover a pre‑industrial planet where the inhabitants share a collective reality. A human scientific team is sent for first contact, unaware that the mission is a covert operation. The planet’s moon contains a massive artifact of the same origin as the star gates—potentially the decisive key to ending the war.
