About the book: 2024 / Near future. Exactly one and a half decades since the first contact with representatives of alien civilizations took place on earth. Contrary to the expectations of pessimists, no one began to conquer the Earth, but the optimists were also mistaken. Because they didn’t recognize earthlings as equals, because for this you need to make an independent flight at least between systems. However, this did not stop the aliens from trading with Earth. But in order to buy something, you first need to earn currency.
