About the book: 2006 / Having failed to completely pin Yakov Zlyukhin, Lieutenant Colonel Fedor Sbondin again attracts Zigmund Beznogoy to the case, promising him the cruiser "Mad", on which Sigmund served in the past. The cruiser will be Sigmund's if he takes away a batch of drugs from Zlyukhin. Only after loading the ship was attacked, and the cruiser, along with its cargo and crew, went to the planet Prikhamye, on the border of explored space, where aggressive space “cockroaches” were waiting for them all, interested in the cruising cargo.
