- Synopsis
The Mercenary and Ky come back to planet Geos in order to find the only
remedy that can save the life of the Lama, who is seriously ill. They
both know they must be careful with the mythological creatures that now
pour out on to the planet without restriction, but their duty is not so
difficult. They must find a quasi-human species that lives under the sea,
called Aquos, and obtain an irradiated crystal. Surprisingly, the Aquos
appear to have been waiting for them: the Mercenary and Ky are welcomed
as their last chance of survival before the mythological creatures, that
are killing their young people, spot their last shelter.
What should have been a quiet walk through Geos, now that the planet
has recovered from its atmospheric disaster, becomes a time trial
against inopportune setbacks, enormous beasts and wilful mythological
creatures in order to save the defenceless Aquos in the short time
of crossing of the two planets.
