Steel butterfly. Book 1. Cycle "Arradakt". Shalygin V.

The Earth has exhausted all resources and humanity moved to new planets. The living conditions in other worlds were significantly different from the earthly and people had to choose - to change the nature of the planets or change themselves. Thus new human races appeared: the cyborgs of the Marmannes, genetically modified Dactians and Vilders, who, with the persistence of the doomed, tried not to modernize themselves, but the planets they got.

The need for resources forced the need to move further and further deep into the Galaxy and fight for New territories, but once the human world faced: to unite or die.

The first alarming signal was a harmless find that a smuggler of a hornet in a sector close to Pekl, that is, to the center of the galaxy, was made. He found an abandoned reconnaissance ship "Steel butterfly". They would know the hornet and his companion Maritt, what it would turn out, would never have picked up the find on the tugboat. And not only them, but also Maromann Max Hauer, Dactian Sayirus Remu and several more colorful characters, before and did not think that they will be mentioned in the text of the latest history of mankind.
