Did the Earth exploration expedition make the right choice, interrupting its journey to the goal for the sake of the Bowl of Heaven, an unimaginably huge artifact unexpectedly discovered in interstellar space? The temptation to explore the Chalice is all the more great because it could become a haven for many millions of earthlings... if it did not already serve as a home for some very little human-like creatures.The most complex ecosystem, amazing landscapes and incredible forms that the mind takes — all this turns out to be in front of a group of researchers who are being pursued by the owners of the Bowl. But are they the owners? Who created it? And for what purpose? Earthlings will have to find out, and at the same time learn something that will change their understanding of the universe and allow them to take a fresh look at humanity's place in the universe. And in the orbit of the Chalice, the captain of the Star Seeker and his team are struggling with their problems. And even if their ship is not a military one, every starship traveling in deep space can become a formidable weapon capable of causing considerable damage to the colossal artifact in front of it.
