Yared has traveled a long way to find his place in the universe. Light years, even. Though the battle of Addis Prime is over, the spacefaring Axum Empire is still fractured. The kingdom once gave their technology away free of charge, to better humankind. Now, having been missing for over a decade, they're returning to the planet where their galaxy-spanning civilization began-Earth.
But they find the planet in disarray. Old Earth's atmosphere is a mess of junked shuttles and satellites. This is especially true of Debris Town, an orbital flotilla where poor spacefarers-left to rot by the Intergalactic Union that rose up in Axum's place-have taken to piracy to survive.
Yared is set to speak at the opening of the Royal Trials, a competition of the best exo pilots in the Sol System. But on the day of his speech, the pirates launch an attack!
The siege sets off a chain of events that will lead Yared into the depths of Old Earth-and the jaws of a cruel betrayal. There's more to the pirates-and Debris Town-than anyone saw coming.

Jordi Sierra i Fabra nació en Barcelona el 26 de julio de 1947.
Es conocido por su obra como escritor de literatura infantil y juvenil y su trabajo como periodista musical. Su vocación de escritor es clara y firme desde muy temprano: confiesa que dio sus primeros pasos con tan sólo ocho años de edad y a los doce años ya escribió su primera novela larga, de quinientas páginas.
Pese a su clara vocación no contaba con la aprobación o el entusiasmo de sus padres, quienes al acabar el bachillerato le obligaron a trabajar en una empresa de construcción durante el día y a estudiar para ser aparejador durante la noche.
De su infancia ha dicho que 'fui tres veces reprimido: por mi padre, por el régimen y por la escuela franquista'.
Aún así, su determinación y su tenacidad son más fuertes que cualquier obstáculo y sus insistentes cartas semanales a la cadena de radio Cadena Ser le llevaron a convertirse en uno de los fundadores de la revista 'El Gran Musical' en 1968.
En 1970 pudo abandonar los estudios para convertirse en comentarista musical, lo que le permitió viajar por todo el mundo con grupos y artistas del momento mientras cubría sus actuaciones y escribir reportajes.
