About the book: 2015 / The future has arrived - distant stars are no longer unattainable. Now the Earth Space Federation is doing business with several other planets. Space has become a privilege. Only the smartest and most capable can enter the Academy. And I became one of them, became a pilot. The romance of the starry sky entered my life. Distribution to border troops? This is great! Personal assignment to the crew from headquarters? Even more interesting! Getting to know the most warlike race? Dreams come true! Only then I didn’t yet know that everything has its price, and the gifts are running out. Illegal arms trade, surveillance, ambushes, playing on the edge, the price of which is not only honor, but also life. I accepted the terms. And, having gone through horrors, I hit the jackpot.
