The book “Frozen Stars” is the first in a series of books about the adventures of Al. An earthly boy named Al is a member of a tribe of people living on ancient Earth during the Ice Age. During a hunting trip into the forest, he accidentally witnesses the arrival of an alien space reconnaissance expedition. Al, out of curiosity, climbs inside their landing module and leaves his home planet as a “hare.” Aazor is a space tramp and adventurer of the Balagorov race. Like most of his compatriots, he travels around the Galaxy on his own ship, carrying out dubious orders, often not disdaining obvious crime. The first meeting of Al and Aazor occurs during the latter’s flight after the failure of another mission. The old pirate does not yet understand that the reason for his failure itself was on his ship. Their meeting turns into a confrontation and threatens to end badly for one of the opponents, when suddenly a new danger arises, in the face of which they need to begin to cooperate. Against the background of the description of Al’s adventures, the reader receives an array of information that helps him navigate the universe of the “Fires of the Abyss” series, get general information about the leading races of the Galaxy and understand the balance of power at the time of the story. In the future, this information will help the reader navigate the environment and the processes that surround Al and influence the course of events in his life. The series of books “The Fires of the Abyss” tells about the adventures of Al the Thief - a man who was taken from Earth as a child, and, Thanks to his courage and resourcefulness, he became one of the most famous adventurers in the Galaxy.
