Max, together with the pilot Nata Soroka, manages to leave the exploding starship. The rescue module lands on a snowy plain by the frozen sea. Where they—most importantly—find out in which time period to return to their people, when the main obstacle is not distance, but time measured in dozens of years. Will Max—who returned to his previous age—be able to cross the Rubicon again and reunite with his people? : The first book in the “Titan” cycle, describing events one hundred and fifty years after Max’s departure into the future, where he planned to defend the rights of the Rus’ people to the planet.
