Description
Set in a distant future, humans have conquered much of the universe and overtook the planets, banishing their enemies to the distant corners of the universe. In this world, there are no navies and armies. They are replaced with policemen. The duty of policemen is not to fight and win battles, but to solve cases and keep the order in the world. In this world it sees as if everything is under control…
Well, at least until one day a space liner makes and emergency landing on an inhabited planet, at the far corners of the universe, in order to wait for a repair ship. The space liner disappears, taken by a hostile race.
And now, it is up to one veteran police sergeant and his patrolman assistant to discover what has happened and go against the race that has taken the space liner.
Will the police be enough to fight an entire race? Will they stop the rebellion that is plotted at the corner of the universe?
