In the revived monarchy of the New Empire, it was possible to cope with economic and social upheavals. However, the first emperor—chosen by the people—died under mysterious circumstances, and no successor was ever selected. The governance of the country is concentrated in the hands of the Regent and his apparatus, who promise to lead the Empire to prosperity.

But in order for the state mechanism to work without glitches, power seeks to “cleanse” it of everything it considers unnecessary. A terrible question arises: should those who are not recognized as full members of society—incurably ill people, the homeless, people with disabilities, lonely elderly—be declared an unnecessary burden? Should they be eliminated for the progress and convenience of the “socially complete” majority?..

Not everyone agrees with such logic. The new novel by Vladislav Krapivin tells about the resistance of the Empire’s residents to the inhuman scheme—Vladislav Krapivin, a recognized master of Russian science fiction and a laureate of many literary awards, whose books have been interesting readers of different generations for more than half a century.
