With What Strange Eyes? is a fast-paced and unpredictable adventure of space travel, discovery and human drama. It is the second episode in the Westward series.
In the fantastic future of 1999, newspaperman Lamont Townsend has the assignment of the century. He is the only journalist aboard mankind's first interstellar exploration vessel, the United Spaceship Westward. After months of travel, Westward arrives in orbit just in time for the 50th anniversary of the Epiphany event: A mysterious cataclysm that nearly wiped out humanity and set the survivors on a path toward the stars for survival. Captain Francis Carter sees their arrival as an opportunity to shift the observance of Epiphany away from the memory of past tragedy and instead toward the anticipation of future triumphs. But when the rushed expedition to the planet's surface begins to develop deadly complications, it becomes clear that Epiphany Day could mark the observance of yet another tragedy: The first human deaths on the surface of an extrasolar world.
