In 2380, on the farthest edge of the interstellar Federation, astronomer Dudley Boss observed something that should not have been possible: more than a thousand light-years away, a star... Disappeared into thin air.
Too far away to be reached through a wormhole connecting the Federation, a faster-than-light starship, the Second Spring, is built to travel to No Man's Land under the leadership of former NASA pilot Wilson Keim to find out.
However, carrying out this task is fraught with difficulties. In addition to the interference of the various political forces of the Federation, the Second Spring's exploration plans were thwarted by dissident leader Bradley Johnson and his organization. In a field of infighting and game confrontation, the deadly threat lurking in the depths of the universe gradually surfaced. It will have the potential to destroy the Federation of Stars, even the entire human civilization...
