When a meteorite strikes Bellatrix, the third-brightest star in the Orion constellation, the impact throws it into a period of instability… The galaxy’s fleet of spaceships is sent to keep an eye on the system’s inhabitants, whose life is much like that on Earth in the 19th century, and finds them profoundly disrupted by a return to obscurantism. With the help of the Avarants, an advanced extra-terrestrial civilization, and the galactic coalition, Kim and Manon undertake a mission to observe and report on the situation, without attracting any attention. They are supposed to meet with Narene Ever, leader of the progressive opposition party and possibly their only hope of finding a solution. But Narene’s life is in danger, and they must protect her…
A new and original 4-volume series that moves away from the alien world of “Neptune” into one that resembles our own.
