A novice pilot of transport and space lines, not quite human, but not a cyborg either, crashes on a backward planet. He will have to find the answer to how he ended up on Ta Bilan, going on the most ordinary flight, and what kind of legacy this planet holds. And he also has to learn to live among people. The first book in the series. Written many years ago. Why she is exactly like this, today there is no point in asking me, I no longer know. You can consider it the launching pad from which all other stories began.

Author's notes: By the way, based on the experience of comments on pirate sites and the history of this thing in general, I will also warn you about this: there is no slash and akhtung here will. The hero does not agree with such twists and turns, despite some situational threats that may seem like prerequisites to a hypersensitive and/or spoiled reader. So, if someone is afraid of such twists and turns, situations are ultimately resolved differently.
