This time it was not a war trumpet that called Jim di Gris, nicknamed the Steel Rat, on a campaign, but a gentle pipe playing a song about the past. Or more precisely, Elmo’s cousin Elmo, who has fallen out of the blue, accompanied by a bunch of relatives from the Corner of Paradise and a herd of quilboars, locked in a spaceship for debt. Jim's peace of mind disappears at the same speed with which the money in his bank account melts. But what can you do, don’t abandon your relatives in trouble, especially since Angelina, his beloved wife and comrade in arms, decides to join the expedition in search of a new pig-like paradise. However, troubles begin even before the old trough "Rosa Rifuti" accelerates its marching engine... The best gift for all science fiction lovers! Jim di Griz, nicknamed the Steel Rat, is back!
