Forced to flee their home world, eight Wax chicks found themselves in our universe, left to their own devices. Possessing advanced technologies and diverse talents, they tried to create creatures similar to themselves, but the result of their work was Homo sapiens. To prevent the rapidly developing race from becoming an obstacle to space exploration, the Vaxseys created intermediaries between themselves and people, calling them angels and themselves gods. Since then, many millennia have passed and the world has changed more than once, going through years of war and years of peace, years of discoveries and years of destruction. From dawn to dusk into the darkness of the unknown. Planetary Sources explode throughout the Inhabited Space, serving as beacons for space travel. Responsibility for the explosions is claimed by the terrorist organization “Second Coming”, which has put forward strange demands to the heads of opposing states. Afraid of losing their usual navigation, states follow the lead of terrorists and sign a peace agreement. As a result, the children of high-ranking officials become hostages. But such peace cannot last forever, and ten years later, the pupil of the pirate king, Alain Richmond, unwittingly becomes the cause of a possible conflict. And while politicians and secret societies try to tilt the situation in their favor, he has to deal with his own conscience. He does not yet know that he has an important role to play in the future, and much will depend on his choice.
