Experiment. Book 3. Echo of an Alien Mind. Series 3

The book is published in two chapters per series, and each chapter is sold separately. The full text will become available after February 26. Damitar, having organized the survivors, built an underground city on neutral territory—one whose miracles can rival the people’s main city, Stargard. Under his leadership, the new band achieved its first major victory—bitter and short-lived. The reason lies in fighting a war on multiple fronts. But what if there are more than two?

A hundred years ago, a hyperspace anomaly swallowed the fleet of a mighty civilization, and now echoes of that battle threaten the world where Dmitry Voyevodin found refuge. From a besieged capital where hope fights despair, he is seen both as a threat and as the last hope. Yet all of that pales before the danger coming from an ancient mind—alien to humans and seeing living beings merely as an error. Before he even realizes the consequences of victory, Damitar finds himself in a dark labyrinth where it’s hard to draw the line between reality and illusion. In a place where time malfunctions, the only salvation is oblivion. And even here he comes face to face with a creature next to which the machines of the elemiyans seem closer than ever.

While Damitar struggles to preserve his mind, his warriors decide to prove by force to the zealots their right to be called the prince’s band. Damitar stands at a crossroads of forces so different that sometimes it’s hard to tell who is a friend and who is an enemy—even when, at first glance, it seems obvious. He will have to find out what is stronger: a foreign mind trying to change the world, or the human will that refuses to give up. But this is only the beginning.
