Viktor Glukhov, also known as Irridar Tan Abbaai Tok Rangor, escapes from captivity and ends up on a deserted old destroyer drifting in an asteroid field. The only creature living on this ship is a mad android that kills all people, considering them dangerous to itself. The android locks Irridar and his companion in the refrigerator, where the frozen bodies of the crew members lie… The deadlines for returning to Infernо are closing in. All of Irridar’s life depends on whether, within the next few hours, he can escape the trap and reach a planet. But trouble doesn’t end there: Liian’s symbiote, through a chain of transformations, has forgotten what Irridar looks like and can’t restore his appearance. To handle the situation, Irridar needs quite a bit of courage—and luck won’t hurt either.
