A temporary lull in the war with the Cyclops gives humanity the opportunity to come to its senses a little. But instead of using their combined forces to develop new technologies and create more powerful weapons, Confederate politicians unleash a civil war with Lagos, which has declared itself independent. This world has become home to Demons, super-modified pilots capable of resisting alien enemies. But the Demons are not alone now, with them are the residents of Lagos, who see in them hope for the future. And the superpilots themselves are now not only fighters, they are reconnaissance officers and saboteurs, carrying the war on the wings of their Krechetov from the worlds of people to the planets of space aggressors.
