They arent the only ones after immortality: Commander Jockey Oldcastle, a wise-cracking space pirate, has heard about the Amphora Project from a banished scientist who is convinced it will lead to the end of the world. Oldcastle sets off to find the project with Adrian Link, a timid botanist who wants only to tend to his plants on the Agricultural Plain, yet Oldcastle finds himself trying to unravel a strange mystery: It seems the Amphora Project is turning the citizensof Planet Immortal into crystal. As time runs out, it is up to Oldcastle and Link -- and Links exotic, unlikely love interest -- to stop their mysterious extradimensional enemy before their world is lost forever.
