About the book: year / Space travelers emerged at the call of an emergency beacon and fell into a trap. Will they be able to get out of it and remain human? A strange question, but relevant! Why? Because...Testing a new weapon changed the entire local population. Those who survived became monsters in the guise of Homo sapiens, essentially ceasing to be intelligent. Fortunately, they discovered space only around their own planet. This novel can be considered the first epilogue to the story of “The Mistress of the Space Castle”".
