In the wake of an encounter with another space warp, Moonbase Alpha is badly in need of titanium to repair the base’s life support systems. An Eagle is sent to do a mineral survey of the nearest planet, but after detecting titanium and heading back to the moon, the Eagle is intercepted by a glowing orb of light that originated from the planet’s surface. A being identifying himself as Mentor of the planet Psychon contacts Moonbase Alpha and offers peace, if Koenig can prove that his crew can be trusted. Koenig personally leads a second expedition to Psychon, but to his horror discovers that the first Eagle is not the only spacecraft to have come to a tragic end on the planet’s surface. He also finds that the crews of the other crashed ships have been reconditioned to serve as slave laborers for Mentor’s race of psychopaths, their stolen mental energy used to power the Psychons’ central computer. Koenig is forced to choose between his crew’s extinction or servitude, but he plays a card that Mentor doesn’t expect, setting into motion the destruction of Psychon itself. Maya survives the carnage, but can she ever trust Koenig and the other humans?
