Ryan Nash and the crew of the space ship SURVIVOR have set out to explore a distant planet. Instead they find themselves in a huge subterranean industrial complex. A factory where Chinese workers are ruled by ‘Overseers’, a caste of machine-men who were human once. Only one crew member understands their common language: Ai Rogers, a young woman half English and half Chinese. After the handover of Hong Kong to China she grew up in a communist re-education camp. There she developed strange abilities. Ai can turn herself invisible. She is able to move things and even kill with a thought. When Ai overhears the machine men she realizes that they are trying to lure the crew into a trap. She must find a way to warn the others. But Ai has not spoken a single word since she was ten.
