Book Four picks up at the moment Book Three left off, with Trevor, his wife and daughter he's just met, and his best friend Nirgal having been whisked away from Earth in a space craft and escorted to the captain's office. Most of Book Four is concerned with Toni's explanations of what Trevor's life was like before he was exiled to Earth.
