Falling on the "wet" planet, Gregory quickly gets drawn into local society, ... in fact, how much there is that society - a couple of tens of thousands of sailors plowing the One Ocean and a small enclave on the island, which here is called for some reason the Mainland .. That's the whole population of Stora, ... well, a couple of thousand more on floating cities, a trifle on the scale of the planet - but people remain people everywhere, conflicts arise everywhere on the basis of envy, greed and other eternal human vices. Grisha was able to deal with his problems, which he inherited from his predecessor, whose place he so “successfully” took. In this voyage, very far from the studied ocean spaces of the planet Store, he discovers a phenomenon that is going to explore the planet.
