Sometime during the thousands of years of its strange history, the derelict alien spacecraft Roth Rámach came alive. It may or may not be sentient, but it is alive. The Roth Rámach is a living spaceship.
The dream-band device that Dantès has created for Esmerelda holds a series of dreams he has recorded for her. Wearing the dream-band, Esmerelda is able to dream those dreams and experience the stories of the Roth Rámach, chronicles Dantès calls the Roth Rámachyon Cycle Saga.
Irish mythology, a witch’s magic, the fate of the alien race who built the ship, the nature of interstitial space, the history of the Internet on Earth—these pasts and presents and futures are just some of the intricate network of lives and fates and destinies that have over thousands of years come to be bound up in the fabric of this vessel. Within the history of the Roth Rámach is embedded even the incredible origin of the extraordinary dog Hoodwink, and the lifelines of Bob and Esmerelda and Hoodwink and Stuffed Bear and Dantès all wind inextricably through this alien craft.
It all comes together in the dream-band dreams.
