About the book: 2015 / Life... sometimes it’s in full swing. Yes, not with a simple nut, but from the cooling pipes of the corvette reactor. Yes, right on top of the head. Today you are a boarding corporal, the commander of the inspection and boarding department, with good career opportunities for a corporal without special connections. There is a service that you like, there is a girl that you love. And even the financial situation is quite good. And tomorrow you are a settler sentenced to lifelong exile on a wild planet. One among many, a stranger among strangers. And only an old gun, a couple of knives and a backpack with your clothes. Well, a stray crippled puppy. And what? And nothing. Are you used to combat on board a spaceship? Were you well prepared for this? Have you been told that everything in front is crying, and behind everything is burning? So a fight on a dirty street is no different, except for the rate of fire. But the main thing is not who shoots more, but who hits first accurately. And you know how to shoot. And you can even think, sometimes. So forward, corporal, there is a huge world ahead. There are unknown mountains ahead, new friends and new enemies. New mysteries and new horizons. Fresh wind in the face and the glow of the fire on the face. The splash of new rivers and the taste of water from new springs. And who said there won't be new love??
