Vova Kurochkin’s adventures continue. A symbiosis with the artificial intelligence Keller gave Volodya enormous possibilities—possibilities he still has to learn. But now that he is not just a person, but a Dictator of the Meklar race, tasks of galactic scale await him. The secrets of the Forebears have not been revealed; a third wave of Berserkers is on the way; and the insectoid race, like locusts, is wiping out entire planets. All of this, plus problems in his personal life, would make many give up—but when you’re the last hope for the survival of millions of worlds, a solution will be found.
