Two quirky aliens from another dimension plummet to Beldora and crash land in the Sora Sea. One of them remains trapped in their spaceship far beneath the water's surface. The other covertly manipulates the local population and accelerates technological development in the hope of recovering the sunken spaceship.
Scientist and entrepreneur, Jejliard Castonea, plunges ahead with daring experiments unaware his research is being prompted by subliminal suggestions from the alien being. Through his efforts, Beldora jumps from the age of steam power to nuclear energy and computerization within a few years.
Jejliard implants a computer chip in the brain of their family's pet leopard, Nova, to enhance its native intelligence. When the experiment proves successful, he then implants one in his own brain. Impressed with the result, Jejliard goes one step further and implants one in his young son, Tajlon.
The child effectively grows up with a supercomputer for a brain and works with his father to develop advanced technology, most notably a nuclear-powered submarine. Things take a dangerous turn when they discover the alien spaceship and the creature stranded within it.
Their troubles are compounded by finding classified nuclear secrets have fallen into the wrong hands. A full-scale nuclear war soon threatens the planet as competing factions vie for world dominance.
A trusted friend in the Beldorian security forces betrays Jejliard and his son. Their best hope is to escape the war with friends and loved ones. While making repairs to the damaged spaceship, Jejliard stumbles on the key to a new form of existence that transcends mortal life. His very sanity is at risk as he is manipulated by an unknown presence on the ship. Tempted by the seductive potential of unlimited power and the promise of immortality, Jejliard risks all to avoid succumbing to his dark fate.
