PROLOGUE
We are in the 20th century. On the streets you see couples in Fiat 500s whizzing by, car radios blaring the songs of the Beatles, Mina, Gianni Morandi. Some cars stop in isolated places, the windows fog up, the cars move. The human is happy when he meets love and does everything to protect it.
An immortal observes this wonderful climate from his planet and reflects.
In those eighties, one summer evening, something very special happened: a young man wearing a pearl-buttoned silk shirt, which his grandfather had kept since his wedding day, made an impression at the last slow dance. He left the dance floor with her and together, accompanied by the last notes of that song, 'Mandy', they arrived at the seashore. They never imagined how special she would be, that person conceived under a fishing boat. We have not been abandoned. Humans will have a last chance to choose.
Saving the life of the infamous rookie pirate, Captain Ruben Kirk, catapults Jessica Red into a sea of magic, jewel heists, and world-saving adventure.
