Novel , 2002
Seix Barral
Captain Horacio Dos has been assigned an uncertain mission due to his incompetence and audacity. As head of an outlandish expedition, he’ll travel through space in extremely precarious conditions along with his ship’s peculiar passengers: the Delinquents, the Wayward Women, and the Short-Sighted Old People. On this journey, which will bring them countless adventures, there will be secret paternities and affiliations, courtly performances hiding a seedy, dingy reality, struggles to survive by rascals and hustlers, and plenty of scares and surprises.
