About the book: 1995 / 4784 of the Isher dynasty or 8951 AD. The authorities of the empire are opposed by Gunsmiths. The weapons sold by the Gunsmiths are capable of destruction at a distance of 1000 miles, but are tuned only to the owner, shoot only in self-defense or at certain animals during the hunting season. Journalist Chris McAllister, an alien from 1951, finds himself in one of these stores. He can no longer leave it, since the energy of time accumulated in him will break out and destroy the Earth. The gunsmiths put a protective suit on it, balance it with the store building using the principle of a lever and send it to the past, and the store to the future. The journalist and the store begin to appear and disappear at different times. Where will the path of McAllister, who has become a stranger to this world, end? Calledetic Cale Clark, who has special telekinetic abilities, is the son of a staunch Imperial. Cale meets Lucy, a gunsmith girl, after which they fly to the capital. Cale will have to go from a country boy to a financial tycoon and enter the service of the Empress..
