About This Book

Après une explosion atomique, la plupart des terriens survivants sont partis s'installer sur les planètes de la Confédération de Véga. L'espérance de vie de certains hommes a augmenté. Ainsi, personne ne connaît l'âge de Conrad Nomikos, le conservateur de la Terre, qui vit sur une île grecque miraculeusement préservée. Il a pour mission de guider Cort Myshtigo, un végan venu explorer la planète.
