After a nuclear war, Russia’s territory has turned into ruins and radioactive wastelands, where bands of looters run amok and absolute lawlessness reigns. But even here there are survivors, including the academician Skvortsov. And not an ordinary academician—otherwise there wouldn’t be so many assassination attempts on him. Even in a destroyed world, someone named Sokol does not lose hope of finishing the work he started: to kill the professor who possesses priceless knowledge. Also, Vladimir Yevgenyevich is of interest to our staff—miraculously surviving this war. Major of GRU Volokhov receives an order: at any cost, find the professor and deliver him to the Urals—the only remaining stronghold of our country. But Konstantin will have to hurry, because off the shores of the Barents Sea an American nuclear aircraft carrier, “Monica Condolizzy,” is approaching, preparing to deliver our country the final decisive blow.
