This is a sequel to Deadly Rainbows. Sean is living with his dad aboard the deep space exploration vessel, the Aurora. The Aurora has entered a region of space where the laws of physics have changed: light is a rainbow of colors, the principles of gravity have changed, and the shield polarity has shifted. The ship's food is spoiling at a much faster rate than normal, and the ship's engines are using up iridium at a much faster pace than normal. These problems have become familiar. Now Sean faces new challenges. During a mission to a ring-shaped planet, Sean gets separated from everyone during a storm. To survive on his own, he must learn to communicate with an alien species while he figures out a way to locate and rejoin the crew -- and facethe possibility that they may have given him up for dead and left the planet. Then Sean enters a place that no light source can illuminate. This utterdarkness will test the limits of Sean's strength and courage.

Sean is a typical eleven-year-old boy. He goes to school, spends most of his free time playing Stratagem (a futuristic game) with his friends, and lives with his mom. That is, until his world is suddenly turned upside-down by his mother's unexpected death. Sean is taken away from his home, his friends, and the only life he has ever known, and sent to live with his estranged dad aboard a deep-space exploration vessel. He has to deal with a blustery captain, grouchy scientists, and a dad he barely knows.And then things get worse.The spaceship enters a region of space where the laws of physics have changed: light behaves differently (meaning the ship's sensors no longer work), gravity has changed, the shields no longer protect the ship from asteroids, and the packaged food begins to spoil. How will they detect objects without the sensors? How will they move in the weird gravity? How will they stay safe from asteroids? And how will they find their way back to normal space? Sean and the scientists must answer these questions before the ship runs out of food... or gets destroyed by a rogue asteroid.
