En una sociedad dominada por la lógica más insensata y por la disciplina más férrea, la pérdida de algunos de sus miembros más cualificados en un planeta aún por domesticar constituye un riesgo para todo el sistema. Seis superhombres y supermujeres en un mundo hostil, en el que sus esquemas mentales de poco les van a servir, se verán de pronto acechados por los homo sapiens, cuya mentalidad, es evidente, también deja mucho que desear. Del choque entre estas dos culturas nace un enfrentamiento producto del miedo y de los malentendidos, que, como pone de manifiesto la novela, pueden tener consecuencias fatales.
