The heroes of the “Living” series—Tais, Fyodor, Emma, the Spiky one, and their friends—face new threats, achieve new victories, and suffer new losses. The world of children trapped on the orbital station Moag is rapidly expanding: yesterday they were afraid to explore every corner of their home station, and today they will go into space—and some of them will even end up on Earth. Yesterday’s enemies may become allies, and new enemies will turn out stronger and more frightening than the old ones. Teenagers become stronger and wiser: they are growing up at a breathtaking pace.
