Detective Brin heads for a moon called Riet, wanting to find and arrest the shape-shifting robot that murdered Dr. Nof. Can Brin find the shape-shifting robot that murdered Dr. Nof? Because it can hide in this moon's jungles or its deserts tracking down the android will be difficult.

Dr. Nof, a biochemist who has traveled to a moon called Barom in order to find a cure for plagues, is missing. Because dangerous beasts roam Barom's jungles, finding her will be a challenge.

The shape-shifting robot could be aboard the platinum spaceship. If it is, Detective Brin must find the ship and capture his fugitive. The only beings on Wacev, the Dooyen, fishermen, and fisherwomen, spend most of their time at sea. Because Brin doesn’t know any of them, getting these strangers to help him find the platinum ship will be a challenge.
