While the military and scientists try to take the Zone under their control, a small group of specialists appears with their own goal—to destroy the Monolith at any cost. They have the means, support from the most powerful clan, a unique weapon capable of breaking the Monolith, and a suitable executor. In their persons, humanity for the first time challenges the Zone in order to win. Everyone stands against them—free stalkers, factions, former comrades from the Coalition, and the Zone itself. But the greatest danger is the one who devised the plan for them—someone who now uses his abilities to prevent justice from being carried out.
A continuation of the books “Sandglass” and “The Secret of Poltergeist”, completing the trilogy. A story of a global confrontation in the Zone, where in the clash of iron will and absolute evil, there will be no two winners.
