About the book: 2023 / Betrayal... It hurts very much. It burns out the soul. After the soul burns out, what remains is ashes. And don’t believe those who say that ashes are a good fertilizer. Supposedly, a new crop will grow better on soil fertilized with ashes... Yes! a young guy, Arkady, who was first used, and then betrayed by the people he trusted. Betrayed again. What can grow in the scorched soul of a guy, of whom only the Universe knows the answer to this question... I don’t know how it is now, but. If you had previously asked any of the children, at least in the eighties of the last century, what they dreamed of, you could hear the most common answer at that time. Almost all children on Earth dreamed of flying to the stars to discover new planets and explore new worlds. But none of them ever thought about what such curiosity entails? What dangers accompany those who can become so bold as to go there, into the darkness of outer space, even behind the cover of some advanced technology. And moreover... What awaits their children there, left alone with an alien world... And, perhaps, even without seemingly native technologies... Contents: FAR HORIZONS:1. Khaidarali Usmanov: Far horizons.
