About the book: year / Several years have passed since the appearance of the Anomalous Zone. Shooter, Fang and Ghost, three stalker friends are preparing an unprecedented attempt to penetrate into its very heart, the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. But there are those who seek to prevent this plan. The mercenary Scar is sent in pursuit of Strelok, whose life depends on the fulfillment of his mission: to stop the daring tramp. At any cost, even if it means putting everything on the line. Events follow events. The head of one of the scientific laboratories is no longer anxious to avoid criminal prosecution; disaster is breaking out over him. But he finds salvation where others find only death: among the formidable Zone Guardians, who called themselves “Monolith”... The narrative is closely intertwined with the plot of the game “Clear Sky”, which formed its basis and served as inspiration for the creation of this work.
