Strange things are happening in the Chernobyl Zone. An entire military unit of the Isolation Forces has been cut down to the last man, the military checkpoint has been destroyed, and the Stalkers’ base has been attacked by an unknown enemy. Soft, Smoke, and a trio of fighters break through the siege. They need to find Arthur Orlov and the mercenary Iván who have gone missing across the expanses of the ChZО. One against everyone, without support or help from outside.
And right on their heels creeps a mysterious enemy—sometimes plotting, sometimes suddenly helping. The heroes will have to go through the whole Zone to crack the code of the Black Ones and obtain answers to the questions that have piled up. But will these answers bring them relief—or not?
The final book of the trilogy “Crack the Zone” is a direct continuation of “Hacker” and “New Dawn.” It’s time to take off the masks.
