In a future Earth, its inhabitants have greatly depleted many of the planet's rich resources. A new home was needed for expansion, and the Planet Sigmet was found and colonized. Old lessons were not learned, however, and Sigmet is no longer new; it is also being rapidly used up and reaching critical mass. An interstellar scouting ship, the 'Bramble', is far beyond Earth/Sigmets' galaxy seeking another planet suitable for human colonization. Despite traumatic odds, Commander Neil Gavens and his crew enter the orbit of a planet that appears to meet their specifications: breathable air, evidence of plant, animal and marine life, but all seems to be astoundingly purple in color. The Earth/Sigmet crewmen and the Eftiam leaders begin to bond. Gavens and Dr. Jean Spencer, a scientific officer of the 'Bramble', along with other crew find themselves adapting to the land/water habit of Eftiam, even developing the same purple tinted skin as well as the gills and webbed hands and feet of their hosts. Their original mission catches up with them in the form of new ships arriving from Earth/Sigmet. They quickly realize that the intention is to take over Eftiam and its inhabitants and culture and the planet mobilizes for war. Time will tell if the Earth-ites are successful and are able to make this their new home.
