The First Galactic War ended a long time ago, but there is still no peace in the Galaxy. Eager to take possession of the technology and weapons of human civilization, the Wild Insect Families stop at nothing... When the insects attacked Ilya’s home planet, one of the military androids defending it advised the boy to go into the forest, promising to find him as soon as the enemy’s attack was repulsed. But days passed after days, the warm summer gradually gave way to cold autumn, and no one came for Ilya. Hunger, thirst and approaching illness forced the boy to leave the forest and approach his hometown, which had changed beyond recognition. It immediately became clear that the androids lost the battle, people died, and the insects ruled the planet with impunity... For the time being, with impunity. After all, a modified Stiletto, controlled by combat mnemonic Ralph Douglas, had already appeared in the sky above her. Could Douglas have known that by saving the boy, he was deciding the fate of the entire Galaxy? Author’s page on the Internet: www.livadnyy.ru
