Andrey Panferov, a talented scientist from Russia, was forced to leave his country and move to the United States in the difficult 1990s. Now he is slowly fading due to an incurable disease, and his only hope for salvation is to create a medicine himself. It’s not an easy task, but an artificial intelligence developed by a brilliant mind helps him. However, curing him is only the beginning. A new problem faces Andrey: how to stand up to the all-powerful “shadow state” that seeks to seize the results of his research. Powerful groups accustomed to impunity unexpectedly find themselves up against a strong opponent. Together with the artificial intelligence he named Max, Andrey must solve incredible tasks to keep his discovery secret and stay alive. The invention—one that not only restores health, but also grants superhuman abilities—is a powerful weapon. The consequences could be catastrophic if it falls into the wrong hands.
