About the book: 2016 / The difficult years in the “whale” cemetery of devastated Melling and adventures in the skies over Italy are left behind. Life seems to have settled into its groove, and there is no need to rush anywhere. Exams are underway at the navigation school, work on artifacts brings in good income, and the ordered airship is being built at the Kitezh-grad shipyards. But it is not the habit of the powers that be to refuse a piece that floats past their mouths. Peaceful Novgorod turns out to be not such a safe place, and here you have to fear not only hunters for Melling secrets and ordinary street bandits, but also pompous snobs from the Golden Belts, who really do not like competitors, especially if they cannot boast of origin. However, when did Kirill retreat from difficulties? There is a goal and a dream, and the rest is on the side!
