Opis

An intergalactic adventure pitting Se-laya, a young female Balangodan, (a race of beings who inhabit a star in a far-away galaxy) and the Krikalev Space-Traders, headed up by a dishonest and greedy Urka, Bijar, intent on cornering the egg market in outer space-a plan which could lead to the birds extinction. Se-laya, the protector of the migrating birds who come yearly to Balangoda to lay and hatch their eggs before flying off to the water planet, Sinhala, are missing. She leaves her home on an exciting and dangerous adventure to find, and ultimately to rescue the birds and ensure their survival. In accomplishing this, she also protects the survival of her people whose diet rely on eggs. On her way, she makes an unlikely alliance with Ptisic, a Sinhalian boy who had hatched Bijar's plot to capture the birds. The Balangodans, with the help of the Kujira, half fish, half raptor, defeat the greedy Bijar, his crew and his herd of fearsome Temminckii lizards.
