Synopsis: A group of scientists with distinct backgrounds and specializations embark on the largest and best manned spacecraft devoted to researching external planets: the Outerplanets I. Crossing the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, the team is faced with an unusual phenomenon involving one of the rocky bodies, leading it to an unexpected visit to the intimidating 22 Kalliope. The work of Danilo Fadul Muhana, written from the perspective of one of the crew members of the spacecraft, the Brazilian mathematician Rachid Abdul, provides readers with a (re)encounter with science fiction classics published between the 1960s and 1970s.
