The brilliant mind of the future’s great neurosurgeon, Mark Salamonovich Voznesensky, is trapped inside a dying body. Weeks are all that remain. The only chance at survival is a daring experiment to transfer consciousness again—which may either grant the academic a new life or permanently erase his identity.
But the struggle for his own continued existence grows into something far greater. Moscow of 2026 becomes a battleground between ruthless nomenklatura and secret forces from 2082. Prion weapons, quantum technologies, and deadly intrigues are all set in motion. While saving patients’ lives, Voznesensky finds himself at the center of a conspiracy where his past, present, and future are tightly intertwined into a single knot.
