Prologue

The hero of our book reveals himself as a singular being, who becomes a legend of timeless evolution, in memory of his ancestors who wrote unique passages of history and helped him achieve his great goal. Those, by their particularities, distinguished themselves from their fellow countrymen. They became gregarious, intelligent and odd, producing profound transformations around them. In their epic contradictions and grandiose deeds they were, simultaneously, strong and fragile, because of the achievement of their dreams in their attachment to possess and to dominate. Their stories, full of singular and collective accounts, led our man to find, in these roots, the distant horizons of his ambition.

His legend invites us to go through his struggles for the conquest of an Empire on a planetary scale. This time, without the need to resort to weapons of mass destruction or the slavery of conquered peoples.

It thus fulfills an old dream, passed down from generation to generation, where prosperity and brotherhood among men is placed within the reach of all, fostering, for a long period of time, peace among peoples.

The author sought nothing more than to provide a pleasant reading about the journey through three centuries for the search of his world.
