On the other side of the galaxy is a planet called Harrmai. This once-peaceful place now appears deserted, its inhabitants disappeared. The only being present is a man who calls himself Jelrock. Bizarrely, Jelrock hardly seems bothered by the fact that he is alone and apparently the only one of his kind. Even more bizarre is Jelrock's choice to reside in a factory where robots work every hour of the day. Is Jelrock the victim of an accident, or does he have some horrible secret to hide? And who is the girl whose image appears on the monitors scattered throughout the factory? This is the second book in the Captain Exetre series.
