The novel is set in a distant future, where humanity is one of many intelligent species in a vast and complex galaxy. The galaxy is divided into four regions, or Zones of Thought, each with different physical laws and levels of technological development. The Unthinking Depths are the innermost region, where only simple life forms can exist. The Slow Zone is the region where Earth and most of human civilization is located, where faster-than-light travel and communication are impossible, and artificial intelligence is limited. The Beyond is the region where most of the novel takes place, where faster-than-light travel and communication are possible, and artificial intelligence can reach superhuman levels. The Transcend is the outermost region, where godlike entities dwell, incomprehensible to lower beings.
The novel follows two main plotlines that converge in the end. The first plotline involves a group of human explorers who accidentally awaken an ancient evil in the Transcend, known as the Blight. The Blight is a malevolent entity that seeks to destroy all life in the galaxy, and can manipulate matter and energy at will. The explorers manage to escape with a mysterious artifact, called the Countermeasure, that can somehow stop the Blight. They crash-land on a medieval planet in the Beyond, inhabited by dog-like aliens called Tines, who have a collective mind composed of several individuals. The explorers are split into two factions: one that wants to use the Countermeasure to stop the Blight, and one that wants to keep it hidden from everyone. The second plotline involves a group of human rescuers who try to find and help the explorers, while evading the Blight's agents and allies. They also encounter other alien races and civilizations in the Beyond, some friendly and some hostile.
