In October 2015 I wanted to meddle in Sherlock Holmes, tempo in scacco. The reasons for the partial rewrite, was the desire to set the action described in the novel, in a science fiction universe original and credible. In it, the colonization of other terrestrial planets is now a reality, as were the difficulties of long years of expansion and decades of war to alien species. A fleet made up of powerful and fast ships and men can face extreme situations, even light years from command, it was established to protect the portion of the galaxy under our control.
