E poi arriva il giovane e audace Jonathan Strange, che prima diventa il discepolo del signor Norrell e poi ne diventa acerrimo nemico. Nel corso degli anni, la battaglia fra i due si fa più accesa di quella dell'Inghilterra contro Napoleone.

Nove anni dopo il disastro, il relitto della Discovery vaga abbandonato nello spazio interplanetario, portando con sé i misteri del fallimento di quella missione.

Quando un enigmatico monolite viene trovato sotto la superficie lunare, gli scienziati non immaginano che quell'antico e straordinario manufatto abbia più di tre milioni di anni né che, una volta riportato alla luce, cominciasse a inviare un potente segnale indirizzato verso l'orbita di Saturno.

Sono trascorsi mille anni dal viaggio dell'astronave Discovery verso Saturno e dalla drammatica conclusione della sua missione. Marte, la Luna e il satellite Ganimede sono ormai da tempo luoghi colonizzati e completamente abitati. Il progresso scientifico e tecnologico ha raggiunto un tale livello di sviluppo da rendere obsoleti persino alcuni tipi di lanci spaziali. Da un gigantesco anello attorno all'equatore terrestre partono quattro torri, lunghe diecimila piani e che funzionano come ascensori spaziali, rendendo di fatto inutili i lanci di razzi dalla superficie terrestre.
