About the book: year / A distant planet, on which there have been no major military conflicts for a long time, is plunging into war. The reason for this was the refusal of the Carian Federation to stop developing the latest weapons, perceived by its neighbor the Union as an increase in unjustified military power. Lisa van Revan and Alexey Kolt, a smuggler and a colonel in the Union army, are opposite sides of the same coin. One is driven by a thirst for profit, the other by devotion to their people.

After all, all the troubles that twenty-one years of continuous war managed to bring would stand in their way..
