Evgeny Shalashov “Citadels,” a 2014 novel. The first book of the cycle of the same name.
Who knows that within the structure of Russian special services there exists an analogue of the X-Files division, specializing in strange cases related to paranormal phenomena? Few know how many incidents are brought by UFOlogists, cryptozoologists, and “para-anomaly specialists”—not out of bad intent, but out of “scientific” interest. And the result? The “flying saucer” enthusiasts took the new MIG for a UFO and posted photos online to the delight of foreign spies. Cryptozoologists caught a plesiosaur—and ran straight into a training base for underwater saboteurs. Not a single enemy intelligence service caused us as much damage as these “harmless” seekers.
Could a schoolteacher possibly think that he would get involved in an FSB special operation, the outcome of which would be the discovery of a truly real Mystery?
