Description
Evgeny Rudashevsky’s new book begins like a puzzle from an escape-room, and then manages to become a chase novel, a detective story, a tale of pioneers and traitors, and a parable about curiosity as a great driving force. Just as the characters can’t imagine they’ll go so far, readers can’t imagine where the plot will lead them.
Ten people set out on a long journey, each with their own goal: Sergey Nikolayevich—after an exciting article, Marina Viktorovna—after a father who has gone missing, their 14-year-old son Artem—after the first real adventure that Grandpa would surely approve of. But what are they looking for? What do Professor Tyurin and the Nagibins brothers want, their stern father Fyodor Kuzmich, and the silent giant Dzhambul with his daughter Solongo?
A person’s soul can hide mysteries no less than distant mountains—Artem realizes this right away. The rest he will have to figure out for a long time.
Viktor Kayumovich Korchagin had disappeared before: he would go on yet another expedition to places where no one had been for a century—while his relatives waited for him for weeks and months. Now he’s been gone for more than a year—too long even by the standards of old Korchagin himself. And his house is full of strange hints too: with such-and-such a track you can find me—not only me, but also something extremely valuable… “Gold!” some will be delighted. “Something more important than gold,” others will think.
