About the book: year / I’m terribly tired of the reality in which we live. But no. This is not about propdans. The world in which the plot unfolds is somewhat similar to the world of the future according to Bulychev. Or - to the world of the Strugatskys in the story “Monday Begins on Saturday.” I wanted to write about normal people, in the ordinary normal world of the future. Strange, but it turned out that “our today” had a lot in common with that world. Threats, dangerous situations and a choice that changes reality. In general, as usual, a story with a double bottom. An interweaving of situations. Magic and space. Secrets and reality. Science and magic. It's okay, guys. After all, the book is from the series “Captains, Witches and the Many Faces of Space.” And that means everything is possible. Even the most incredible.
