Description

In a bustling future where humanity lives side‑by‑side with alien newcomers, a seasoned divorce attorney navigates a legal landscape reshaped by politics and interplanetary migration. Jose Obanion, a sharp‑tongued “Legal Eagle,” has built his career on the old community‑property creed, but a sudden repeal of restrictive alien laws sends the system into chaos, forcing him to confront unfamiliar customs and a flood of extraterrestrial clients.

As the new Subversive government pushes controversial reforms, Obanion’s high‑rise office becomes a front‑line for baffling cases that test the limits of terrestrial marriage statutes. With his trusted secretary, Thais, and a city still clinging to familiar rituals, he must balance his professional oath against the shifting tides of law, politics, and culture—all while sensing that something monumental is about to upend his carefully ordered world.
