Alphan Cynthia Crawford gives birth to Jackie, the first child to be born on the Moon; but within a matter of hours the child rapidly grows to the size of a five-year old. Commander Koenig suspects that Jackie's inexplicable development is linked to the death of his father, who was a technician in Moonbase Alpha’s nuclear generating plant. After Jackie draws a picture of a highly detailed spaceship, four such vessels appear over Alpha, hovering menacingly above the base. Jackie grows into a mature adult and reveals that he is Jarak, one of a number of alien travellers who seek physical forms in which to conceal their identities in order to escape their homeworld’s strictly imposed genetic conformity. After Cynthia dies and is reborn as Rena, it becomes apparent that the rest of the aliens intend to take over the bodies of Alpha’s personnel - only possible at the moments of birth and death...
