To navigate in multi-dimensional hyperspace, starship pilots must undergo a drastic operation in which their hearts are replaced by mechanical pumps under conscious control; subsequently they hold aloof from other crew members and ordinary mortals. Laenea, convalescing after her operation and engaged in a torrid affair with lowly crewman Radu, soon discovers why: her machine-driven metabolism and Radu's organic one are incompatible.
