'Captain Kevin Rebel is not easily shocked, but even he cannot run from his future in the form of a ship with a boy's face, a recurring dream, and he will need all his guile to find the one who seeks his help. Piq, mute girl, secret agent, though sometimes near super human, also has emotions and feeling, but she had no warning her heart would be stolen so completely, not by a human, but by a robot boy. Elo, boy scientist, artist of prophetic dreams, processor of the sixth sense, is given the case of finding someone who processes a mathematical equation of unknown power. The trail leads to a metal planet with its human population stored for DNA evolution.'
