People have gone beyond the Solar System, reached the stars, and settled a small corner of the vast cosmos. But unity has never existed—and still doesn’t. Blasters and antigravs coexist with knightly swords and slave labor, enlightened monarchies with theocracies and greedy corporations. The cosmos is huge—but not everyone is destined to find their place here. The crash of a passenger liner throws Guy Cormac outside his familiar life and plunges him headfirst into a hitherto unknown, wild world. After climate control, daily routine, and monotonous work on a space station—predatory animals, natural catastrophes, pirates, treasures, and an entire planet at the disposal of one single person—could drive anyone to reconsider their views and try to find their own path. Or—start something new, build a world of their own, a refuge and home for all who are ready to live and work with a hot heart, a clear head, and clean hands. *** From survival to an action story, from action to building a new world.)
