The situation for the Brightstar family worsens with Creena stranded on a backward planet while Opposition, the peak of Cyraria’s heat season, threatens the very survival of the others….
The situation on Cyraria has developed serious complications. Dirck and his father have no choice but to attempt to build a heat-exchanger to maintain their primitive ballome at livable temperatures during Opposition, the planet’s extreme heat season.
Trouble in the form of Augustus Troy follows them, however, ultimately leaving Dirck on his own to fend for his family, more separated now than before. His new friend, Win, proves to be a valuable ally, though Dirck and Creena’s little brother, Deven, is the real hero, thanks to his strange alliance with an indigenous race known as the bnolar.
Things go from bad to worse for Creena as well when she, ‘troid, Aggie, and vegemal, Thyron, land on a planet where the authorities impound their ship and refuse to let her depart. Her options are not only limited, but further complicated by the fact that someone is trying to abduct her, whose evil purposes she can sense, yet doesn’t understand. Nonetheless, when it finally comes time to leave, she discovers she’s grown more attached to this backward world than she ever thought possible.
New characters in this volume include Win Sendori, clerk at the supply depot, the bnolar, Enoch, as well as numerous characters Creena encounters while marooned on a backward planet.
A Dark of Endless Days begins where Beyond the Hidden Sky ends and continues in Volume III, A Psilent Place Below.
