The year is 2162 and life is great for space adventurer siblings Jet and Adelaide Nova. Along with their parents, Josie and Hugo, these intrepid Australians spend their days roaming rogue planets, surfing solar flares, and avoiding being eaten by all manner of plants – all in the name of science! Yet what the Novas really want to do is meet intelligent alien life – something humanity has yet to do …
Then everything changes …
During a routine search mission, and after advice from astronomer Janali Banks, the Novas come across an abandoned alien spaceship trapped in a celestial butterfly.
Even more incredible, this contraption – made entirely of rock – appears to be powered by a rainbow substance so powerful that it sends the contraption at speeds that humanity never imagined possible.
Although the Novas are unable to capture the craft or “stardust” that powers it, they now know that there is an advanced and intelligent species that can roam the universe in the blink of an eye and embark on a quest to find them!
