The story chronicles Virgil Samms, the first being chosen to wear the Lens—a telepathic badge of authority granted by the benevolent Arisians.

All leads converge toward a single enemy, culminating in massive
space battles and a desperate political campaign to secure humanity's future. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
