About the book: 2017 / Captain Rogozhin is very busy catching murderers in Moscow in 2056. He is not too interested in politics and is not even interested in the starship that has been circling the planet for two years.

But the captain is only an official, and when he is ordered to participate in a strange rescue operation, he is forced to obey. The problem is that his new “colleagues” are not people at all. Having become first a prisoner and then a servant of the aliens, the former investigator is forced to forget about morality. “Thou shalt not kill” no longer applies to him, because thanks to his new abilities he is a killer. Will he find the strength to rebel against his powerful masters? The stakes are high - losing means the destruction of humanity…
