“Let everyone be repaid according to their deeds”—that is the highest law of justice. Justice settled in this city and for a time lived in a dreadful alleyway. It carried out its righteous work there, giving each person what they deserved. People took a dislike to that strange place and called it “the zone of justice.” But justice did not hide in the archway for long; it went out into the city, returning blows to those who struck, death to those who killed. People were frightened and fled from such justice.
The novel “The Zone of Justice” received the Bronze Snail-99 award as the best science fiction novel of 1998 and the Brothers Strugatsky Prize as the best work of Russian science fiction of 1998.
Compulsively engaging action, a swift and unexpected plot, biting satire, kind humor, boundless imagination—in a word, this is Yevgeny Lukin, and the reader’s enjoyment is guaranteed!
