The story revolves around Narant, an interstellar investigator who grapples with personal conflicts while engaging in a broader mission to explore alien life. The novel explores themes of superiority, scientific reasoning, and human emotions in the context of space exploration and contact with new civilizations. In the book, Narant serves as the chief psychanalyst aboard a military cruiser, where he is involved in capturing an alien spaceship. As the crew successfully secures the alien vessel and examines its inhabitants, Narant discovers that the aliens possess remarkable resourcefulness and the surprising trait of random mating—contrasting sharply with his own society's strict breeding programs. This revelation offers Narant hope for his personal life, hinting at the possibility of change in societal norms regarding mating licenses. Meanwhile, back on Earth, scientists grapple with the loss of a test spaceship and its occupants, underscoring the ongoing struggle between human advancement and the ethical implications of scientific experimentation. The narrative ultimately intertwines Narant's personal growth with the broader themes of exploration and the quest for understanding oneself and others. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
