R means Regression. Volume 1

There is something remarkably attractive about retro sci-fi, irresistibly drawing in anyone who opens up to this genre at least once. And what if we add a bit of steampunk to it... a pinch of cyberpunk... and a spicy note of the charm of a werewolf-trickster from ancient legends? Twelve Trading Houses divided the galaxy into spheres of influence and conduct a policy of regression: directing the development of worlds in the desired direction and preparing for colonization. The main character is the adventurer Reynar, a representative of the prohibited and exterminated race of metamorphs. The thirst for profit drives him to Gaelia, a civilization that is in the final stages of regression. A goldmine for a smuggler. But what awaits him there? Danger, an unexpected encounter, and new information about himself...
