About the book: 2021 / Sixty years ago the world perished in the fire of the world war. But it all ended there only for those who burned alive in a nuclear flame or died under the rubble. And for the descendants of the survivors, everything was just beginning. After more than half a century on Earth, new “dark ages” reign in the remaining habitable corners. Barbarians, nomads, isolated villages, city-states. But out of the post-war chaos, the first proto-empires are already beginning to emerge - feudal or slave-owning. Humanity will again prove that everything new is a well-forgotten old, stepping onto the beaten path into a familiar future. And, as before, the lives of people who find themselves in the way of the powers that be are not worth a penny. The book is recommended for reading by persons over 16 years of age.
