About the book: 2018 / Apocalypse... Everyone is saved as best they can. A group of selfless military men, through blood and hardship, is trying to create the illusion of peace for children collected from all over Sakhalin. They are fed, clothed and shod. And only a few know how much each crumb is worth. Maxim, who received the call sign Universal upon joining, is one of those responsible. But he is still a child under strict guardianship. How long will it be possible to keep children away from the outside world and how will they have to pay for it? Or they themselves will lend a shoulder to their older comrades, keeping the world from further sliding into the hellish abyss?
