Lupo at the edge of the galaxy

Начало книги

It has been about six months since Lupo Devega acquired a silvery spacecraft of extraterrestrial origin, surpassing everything previously created by mankind until that day. That's how long it took for those who set out to find and take revenge on Lupo. And at the same time, enslave the earth if possible.

The newlyweds went to the shore of the warm sea, rustling with soft waves on small, greenish pebbles.
