The pilot of a missile carrier, Lieutenant-captain Erik Mintz, could expect anything from his trip “to the other side” of the Void. But harsh reality surpassed all his expectations. Despite that, Mintz brilliantly carried out the diplomatic mission assigned to him, found the family he had lost, gained a name and opportunities he couldn’t even dream of, and fought alongside Cold in several space battles no less intense and large-scale than any fought by the Torbens’ empire. And yet, under any name or another, in one part of space or another, Erik always remains himself: a knight without fear or blame.
