About the book: 2021 / The days of great glory of mankind have long passed. Once strong and united, it has fallen and split into thousands of pieces. A strong and powerful union of the central sectors - the Confederation - is trying to subjugate the freedom-loving outer sectors with their ragtag states and enterprising trading leagues. At the edge of the galaxy, the all-consuming race-swarm of Akri sleeps and watches its peace. Somewhere thousands of pirates are raging and going crazy. And only the void knows what the remnants of the rebel artificial intelligences are doing in the depths of the unexplored regions of the galaxy. And somewhere the Grays are guarding the peace of people. An association of people who do not recognize themselves as citizens of any country. Diverse and capricious, jealous of their freedom or simply unaware of their purpose in life, they explore the galaxy, trade or hunt pirates, privateering for the trade leagues. The only main rule: Do not harm those who do not harm you..
