In a moving story of sacrifice and triumph, human scientists establish a relationship with intelligent lifeforms — the cheela — living on Dragon’s Egg, a neutron star where one Earth hour is equivalent to hundreds of their years.
The cheela culturally evolve from savagery to the discovery of science, and for a brief time, men are their diligent teachers.
