About the book: 2008 / Many centuries have passed since the last earthlings who survived the invasion of “alien” fled to a distant planet and blew up a spatial tunnel behind them. People have already become accustomed to security and have already forgotten about the threat from space. But unexpectedly, their new home is invaded by invaders... These cruel conquerors, calling themselves the Teotls, destroy hundreds of thousands of people, demanding that one person be handed over to them - John de Bran. The colonists find help from the primordial enemies and rivals of the Teotls - the Loa. But as a reward, the new allies also demand the extradition of de Bran. What kind of secret, important for two powerful races of the galaxy, could an ordinary former spaceman have?! John doesn’t even know it himself. But I have to find out before it's too late…
