In the first book, GG, by chance, comes into contact with the crew of a small alien merchant ship that crashed. By helping aliens acquire the materials they need, the GG becomes the owner of medical complexes that cure incurable earthly diseases, alien shuttles, food synthesizers and some valuables. There are also conflicts with militants, competitors and even American aircraft carriers. Events, like a whirlpool, are drawing entire countries and continents into a redivision of the world in which it is difficult for one to survive.
