About the book: year / The story takes place in the universe of the Radh Empire several centuries before the start of the main line of "Servants of Justice", around the period of the Gaonian annexation (in the novel, Dr. Arilesperas Strigan mentions this event when talking with Brek, which sheds some light on the fruits of the hero’s action). An excellent detective-spy miniature in the style of old space SF, focused on the claustrophobic spaces of gigantic ships and orbital stations. Published in the online magazine Electric Velocipede in the summer of 2012.
