Karanga are a noble race that tend the gardens, keeping nature in balance since the dawn of time. Scragg destroy the garden. They are a murderous breed that knows only war and death. Dr. Dale Clark and a group of graduate students visit the site of a mysterious obsidian spire hoping to learn what lies beneath. What will happen when Mas and his shipmates come face to face with the Dr. Clark and his students?
