Handlung
Air-Force-Pilot Richmond Talbot gerät unfreiwillig in die Situation, an der ersten Mondumkreisung teilzunehmen - ein Schimpanse hat ihn mit der Gabel in den Hintern gestochen und zum Aufspringen gezwungen, als Freiwillige ausgewählt werden sollten. Talbot begegnet auf seinem Flug schließlich der mysteriösen Lyrae, die behauptet, von einem anderen Planeten zu stammen und ihn vor einem Alien-Angriff warnen zu wollen.
