About the book: 2018 / If the expedition starts badly, then everything will go wrong. This sign works flawlessly - ask any scientist. A small detachment of Russian biologists sets off on an expedition to the South Atlantic to collect samples of alien life. However, the warm waters are not only teeming with strangers. Ours are much worse. The further into the sea, the more cruelty. Sea gypsies, smugglers, miners of illegal substances, pirates and traffickers roam the oceans. Often they leave no choice for those who want to live. Bandits rely on weapons, scientists rely on intelligence.
