You never know what awaits you behind a closed door... Alex learned this rule well during his five years of service in the French Foreign Legion. He did not suspect that in a peaceful life a trivial trip to an interview would turn into a real disaster and destroy all his plans. Falling into the trap of space slavers and being rescued by the fleet of the Star Empire Aratan is just the beginning of a long journey. It's easy for one in an unfamiliar galaxy to be duped and embroiled in intrigue, but Alex doesn't give up. He has to find his place in a strange world, where sleepless nights of training, star battles and the emergence of real devoted friends await him.
