About the book: 2017 / An agricultural planet with the pathetic name Zhitnitsa, modest rural life in a small village. Everyday life drags on in a monotonous gray stripe. There is a small gap in it for a guy named Syoma - the presence of a halonet, the martial art taught by his father, and mastering the profession of a technician. The life of mankind changes in an instant - a war falls from space, sweeping away everything in its path. Insects give no mercy to anyone! For them, people are just biomass used for fertilizer. An old needle gun and courage in the heart are the only things that remain between a person and death. Sabotage, intersystem jumps, guerrilla warfare - our response to the enemy. We didn't start the carnage, but we will finish it!
