Alex Zavyalov, who successfully escaped the tutelage of his uncle-regent and experienced many not-so-pleasant adventures, has settled into a new place - in the “golden triangle” at the Cartagena station. He has a family, loyal people, knowledge and an inquisitive mind - all that remains is to put all this at his service. However, everything is in order here: the technology for “lifting ships” from subspace has been worked out, a development plan for the coming years has been drawn up... the mere trifle lies ahead - just to carry out our plans. But neither Alex, nor the most experienced captain Sugiwara, nor even the trade union leader David Derrick, who joined the enterprise, could have imagined how it would all end. It’s not for nothing that they say: the road to hell is paved with good intentions! (Ominous laughter is sure to be heard in this place)
