In a universe in which space-faring humans are aided by remarkable telepathic cats, a government edict to control a health threat by impounding and destroying animals throughout the galaxy threatens the survival of these invaluable felines.

Young spacefarer Jubal and his telepathic cat Chester follow the enigmatic feline Pshaw-Ra on a journey to his cat-worshipping home planet, where the Barque Cats seek sanctuary.

When a visiting scientist to the planet of Petaybee discovers the shapeshifting talents of the Shongili twins, who are able to transform between human and seal bodies, the twins are in danger of being kidnapped and must flee their home.

Accompanied by her android "brother," Khorii, the rebellious daughter of the legendary Acorna and her lifemate, Aari, searches for the cause of a mysterious and deadly plague before those responsible use it to cripple an entire star system.

Leaving Petaybee to help rescue a family friend, selkie twins Ronan and Murel are imprisoned by the Company, which wants them as workers, and an unscrupulous scientist, who hopes to study their unusual shape-changing talent.
