[See translation below.] Les jeux video, c'est plus passionnant que la realite. Quand on a 18 ans, comme Alex, et qu'on s'ennuie a mourir dans un petit trou de province, quoi de plus exaltant que de monter tous les soirs dans son avion de chasse supersonique et de defendre la "Frontiere" contre les barbares de l'espace ?

"Ne prends pas tes desirs pour des realites", lui dit toujours sa mere.
Et si le jeu video etait aussi reel que le monde prosaiquement terrien dans lequel vit Alex? Si les guerriers des etoiles et les redoutables Ko-Dan existaient vraiment? S'ils constituaient une menace, non seulement pour la lointaine planete Rylos mais encore pour notre propre planete ?
Heros malgre lui, chevalier des temps modernes, Alex va rencontrer les extra-terrestres et les mondes fabuleux de la galaxie. Et vivre la plus belle aventure qu'homme puisse rever.
Translation: Video games are more exciting than reality. When one is 18 years old, like Alex, and when one is dying of boredom in a little country town, there is nothing better than jumping in your supersonic fighter every evening and defending the "Frontier" against space barbarians. "Don't take your desires for reality," says his mother.
And what if the video game was as real as the prosaic terrestrial world in which Alex lives? What if the star fighters and the redoubtable Ko-Dan really exist? What if they are a menace, not just to their neighboring star Rylos, but even to our own planet?
A hero in spite of himself, a modern knight, Alex will encounter extra-terrestrials and the fabled worlds of the galaxy. And live the most wonderful adventure that any man can dream of.
