A brand-new author’s edition of the novel is presented here—the one the writer considers final.
Only the young and strong survived on the mountains of weapons left behind by the civilization. In this new world everyone is equal. To get a passage here, each person paid in full with their memory—by losing their past, forgetting about relatives and friends, and being overcome by a thirst for senseless aggression. But whoever wants to remember more than others must be the most ruthless killer and is simply obliged to shoot first. Such is the law of survival in this world—the Law of the Frontier.
