Bastian Praite, an ordinary man from the planet Taneros Three, always dreamed of meeting the incredible. Therefore, when this most incredible thing happened to him, turning out to be a ship of space traders, Bastian was truly happy. Even though this meeting turned him into an interstellar wanderer forever, he did not change his mind. Even though it was not him who fell in love with a beauty with cat eyes and the romantic name Suok, and it was not him who was considered a god by savages from a degraded planet - it was he, Bastian, who was destined to become the pilot of the Alien ship and plow on it the endless expanses of the Universe in the company of reliable comrades.
