About the book: year / The initial novel of the "Empire" series. Written in the style of "Hort-realism". But what kind of realism can there be here? I only removed the very tip of the iceberg from the typical “jambs” in this genre. In general, I don’t have a “rule of ten” here, there are no “thick” asteroid fields like porridge, and again there are no abandoned ship graveyards... I didn’t encroach on everything else. In short, the work is intended exclusively for a narrow circle of amateurs who know physics within the confines of high school. Well, they also suspect the existence of sociology, law, economics and other boring things...
