Could the fate of the universe depend on an outlawed mercenary?
Nick Primeon is a young, homeless outcast, a fugitive from the army of space Usurpers. His life credo is simple: as a mercenary, he fights on the side of the conflict where he can earn more. He spends his breaks at work in a suspicious dive, drinking and waiting for the next order, thanks to which he will be able to settle the bill. One day the bar owner loses his patience and it seems that nothing will save Nick, but that’s when a mysterious figure appears in the doorway with an equally mysterious mission. This is the beginning of a very long journey, during which Nick will discover not only the secrets hidden in space, but also those hidden in his past …
Intergalactic travel, highly developed technologies, power and love – it all creates a mix that is really hard to shake off.
Fragment:
– Well, well, son, I stopped believing that you will come back one day. Although, after your antics at Tribullakor, I felt we would meet again.
Fatila’s face looked as if her brain had just exploded.
“Believe me, I didn’t want to go back,” Nick grunted harshly. – So you sent the people to Tribullakor. For what?
– Son ?! Fatila shouted. – You were planning it, right? Did you put me in a trap? How could I be so stupid!
Nick didn’t speak, his eyes fixed on Tajfo Veres’ blaster.
– You did it, Nick. I’m not mistaken, it’s Princess Fatila, right? Taifo said in a cool and calm voice.
Nick noticed that the blaster was now no longer pointing at him, but at Fatila.
– Yes, I am Fatila, Princess Laterna! If you think you will get anything from me, then you are wrong.
Tajfo laughed mockingly.
