A young guy ends up in the hands of Agar slave traders. And since no one is in a hurry to free him, he has to do it himself—after all, saving the drowning is only the work of the drowning themselves. To become a successful engineer from an powerless slave and gain fame in the world of the Commonwealth as a complete madman—that is the path of Viktor Sedykh. The book is included in the cycle “Trash Collectors” as a standalone work.
