About the book: 2006 / Jerry, sentenced to execution, just wanted to live. And he agreed, in exchange for freedom, to become a student of a strange man - the Pacer. But wasn’t the price great? You can forget all your dreams and desires - salvation is worth it. You can agree to protect your world from unfriendly strangers - this is honorable. You can endure the pressure of someone else’s will - this is the price of acquired power. You can even come to terms with the fact that you are not you have your own face - it just so happened. But are you still human if your heart is locked in a carved box, which is a thousand miles away from you??
