Frontier. Volume 1. The Last Refuge of the Gods

"Frontier. Volume 1. The Last Refuge of the Gods" is a fantasy novel by Igor Marchenko, the eleventh book of the ‘Dominion’ series, genres: military sci-fi, space fantasy.

The story of the universe is written by victors, but the theory of chaos says that even small changes lead to unpredictable and irreversible consequences. Sometimes you can outwit the harsh laws of nature, but you can’t escape the inevitable payment. And if you agree on the price, then even the cosmic gods themselves will bless you.

For five years, people had been acquainted with the wormhole of Tayanar, which leads to an entirely alien antiverse—opened by accident as a result of planetary collapse. Encountering the antiverse’s inhabitants turned out to bring people not only new opportunities and prospects, but also unprecedented troubles on a massive scale. It began a close acquaintance with thousands of unfamiliar worlds—thousands of sentient races who didn’t feel any particular sympathy for humans. The amazing worlds of the Frontier—the uncharted stellar borderlands—await their brave first explorers, the people, but they promise them nothing except trouble, suffering, and harsh trials from a mysterious and poorly studied cosmic phenomenon known as the Waiting Worm.

Old friends gather again, frivolously dreaming of an easy stroll, not suspecting what amazing, unusual, and frightening adventures each of their destinies will lead to.

In pursuit of eternal glory and wealth, it’s so easy not only to lose your life and soul, but also to gain a powerful friend—whose actions will depend the fates of thousands of worlds.
