About the book: 2009 / At the beginning of the twenty-fourth century, world and outer space were divided by several large monopolistic countries, calling themselves the Commonwealth of the Seven Powers. The Commonwealth sent a ship of unprecedented shape and purpose beyond the solar system. He had to make a long journey along a closed arc, lasting more than forty Earth years, for the sole purpose of finding traces of extraterrestrial civilizations. The crew members had to think - are our actions really so unpunished? And are we so far from God? Is it worth looking for it in the heavenly spheres, and not in ourselves??
