The Universes begins with the information that Earth's poles are gradually shifting, and will require the entire population to be evacuated. Sampson Gould, scientist for the space program in Washington, is asked to head a voyage into hyperspace. He eventually finds a suitable planet, but in the process, loses his beloved Captain Mora. He searches repeatedly, but can't find any trace of her. She comes to him in his dreams, pleading with him to find her. Sampson befriends humanoids called Tsees, and humans called Nadirans. At first, they refuse to allow Earth men to settle on their planet, Alta. Suddenly, the Nadiran leader changes his mind, and agrees to the settlement. Sampson is pleased, but worried. Why did the Nadiran change his mind? How did Nadirans come to have mind-power? Why is it that they areliving on this planet along with the Tsees?
