Jack Endfield, nicknamed Captain, a former rebel commander, former VKS pilot, developer of maneuverable combat tactics, holder of outstanding paranormal abilities, is locked up on a remote planet. Thus ended his confrontation with the Rulers of Life, the immortal masters of humans and the Inhabited space of the galaxy. Jack is the new incarnation of a once powerful ruler revived to do the dirty work for the new masters of life. Refusing to follow the plan of the new Head of the Council of Governors, the Captain condemned himself to a painful death. In the place of Endfield's imprisonment, devices of a subatomic configuration do not work and all the prisoner's skills are useless. It is impossible to fly away or call for help. The captain prepares for death by starvation. But this is not the worst thing that awaits him. Jack realizes how deeply the enemies got into his mind. Living Gods have been preparing his return for centuries, exerting a pre-calculated effect on the circumstances of the ancestors' lives. So the immortals managed to put together a personality that they can easily control, knowing all the weak points and hidden bookmarks. Even death will not rid the Captain of the power of the self-styled gods. To understand who he is and what his purpose is, Jack Endfield must bypass the blocks built by the Governors by looking at his past incarnations.
