The world after the apocalypse. The main hero, a mutant named Shipasty (Spiky), and his team control their district and defend it from attacks from the outside. They also carry out assignments announced by a mysterious Voice. In return, they get food, weapons, and other valuable things in this world. Who they are—and who they were before—is something no one remembers. Only sometimes fragments of memories surface in the inner mind. The city is deadly dangerous for its inhabitants: the one who strikes first survives.
In the fourth and final book, the hero finally understands where he is, how he got here, and who is against him. Now the question is what to do next. Losses are mounting. Will they be in vain? Is the goal worth the path that must be crossed—and the cup of pain he’s destined to drink?
