About the book: a year / The planet one hundred years after the nuclear war. The surviving groups of people gave birth to some offspring, but it is too early to talk about the revival of civilization. Ulysses and his fellow tribesmen live in a closed valley and are slowly dying out. But it seems that after a recent earthquake, a passage opened somewhere in the rock masses. The herds of ungulates have left, but a ferocious predator has come who is not afraid of anyone. Ulysses goes in search of a passage and ends up in a gorge where there is no radiation, life is in full swing, and you can drink water straight from the stream. And he also meets a man there who has been pressing a button every hour for a hundred years, thereby canceling the automatic launch of a nuclear complex, after which there would be no people left on Earth who survived. © arhan
