A scientific expedition has disappeared in trackless space, and only the ‘Lost Planet’ agency has a shot at finding them and rescuing the grandson of Shasti Rainhell, secret ruler of Olympia. And so it is that star-pilot Wrik Trigardt and his female android partner Maauro, set off for uncharted stars while enemies known and unknown bar their path.

No one can imagine what awaits them on the other end of the starjump.

Maauro reawakens to engage in new adventures but bearing the legacy of all that has come before.
