A continuation of Maxim’s adventures: farming, special services, two swords.
Circumstances force Maxim to leave his familiar Past. A new chronolocation, new dangers, new development—and, of course, new opportunities to bother the alien with the nickname Null. But the Present in the Cradle is much more for earthlings than just a game. It is not only a source of unique items for fighting for territory, but also real-world technologies. When Maxim gets into a confrontation between the special services of worlds, he unexpectedly receives help at the exact moment when Null catches up to him. The alien is swinging—while you’re awake!
