Synopsis:

"After the destruction of Earth, humans were forced to travel the galaxy in search of new star systems to terraform and colonize. Millions of light-years away, the Arcturus system is a planetary cluster of awesome magnitude, ideologically split between the inner world inhabited by cybernetically enhanced "beautiful" people, and outer worlds rife with crime and searching for autonomy and respect. This interplanetary Cold War has had its minor conflicts and espionage for years, but recent activities have escalated into outright acts of sabotage, piracy and terrorism. Motherbank, the disembodied, all-powerful leader of the inner worlds - and head of their intelligence agency, Special Covert Investigations (S.C.I.) - directs her best agent, Sebastian Starchild, to deal with the threat before a full-scale war erupts. Aided (under protest) by sexy and deadly super spy Isis Nile and by his own trusty cybernetic sidekick, Orb, Starchild is off to battle space pirates, stop a legion of world-eating hunger bugs, and uncover an intergalactic mystery. It's a mystery so deep and dark that it threatens not only to destroy the placid utopias of the inner worlds, but also to solve Starchild's own unsuspected origin and reveal the shocking truth about Earth's actual fate."
