About the book: 2022 / Humanity is sleeping. Strange symptoms of debilitating fatigue, which people ignored, led to general lethargy. But not everyone fell asleep. We wander through empty St. Petersburg, sleepless. Those who were not affected by the factor. We saw how our loved ones fell into a stupor, how general irritation and absent-mindedness gave way to fatal exhaustion. We saw purple flashes in the sky, foreshadowing trouble. And who will answer: why were we the ones left? A paramedic from a small town and an artist from a big city. An eccentric scientist and an inexperienced student. A reindeer herder from the far north and a monk from an empty monastery. A former somnologist, a pensioner and a girl with congenital analgesia. We began to look for the cause of the disaster, but were left without answers. In a new alien world, endowed with unusual abilities, we are trying to survive and find each other. But among the sleepless there are those who want to stop us. They are hunting us. They don't want the world to wake up from lethargy.
