It would seem that all the work has been done, the troubles are over, financial problems are a thing of the past, and you have been given a month and a half of vacation. Looking at old photographs, you decide to fly to your native Earth, to visit friends living in another country. But who could have imagined that along the way you would have to rescue an American fishing vessel caught in a terrible storm. And natural disasters will play another joke on you. Without artificial intelligence, practically without protective artifacts and weapons, you will be thrown through a spontaneous portal to God knows where. You may have to cross dozens of worlds to return home. But will there be enough strength, health and luck to not get lost in the turbulent whirlpool of events in distant civilizations that are not always friendly to aliens?
