Captain Katori Nkadia, the Kalary enchantress, is brought out of retirement on a special mission. She owns the fastest spaceship in the known universe. She will transport very peculiar passengers; Nongrono, the empath Vatui who can travel without moving; Casper Newhallas, the multibillionaire organ grower; Caleb, the only Bedra in the universe, a Chompra unit, a mercenary biomechanical bodyguard and Orson Clarke, of the Men of Xiom, probably the most powerful beings in the universe who live in Quantum space. Subspace communications have started failing in quadrants throughout the universe leaving them severed from the rest of the cosmos. This harmless glitch runs deeper into the fabric of the universe than everyone thought and threatens to destroy Quantum. It will be up to this dissimilar crew to use their individual strengths to succeed, or the universe will disappear with a whimper.
