About the book: 2022 / The story describes the first visit in human history to an alien inhabited planet (Zea). Life on this planet is thriving, but no civilizations have been discovered. Most of the participants are specialists in different fields of knowledge, but their goals do not coincide in everything. Some are primarily exploratory, while others have goals shrouded in secrecy. But the most unusual of them all is popular environmental activist Curt Edwards, who is there as a "UN special envoy" to protect nature from the rest of the mission. At the same time, he is a dense sectarian, and he is part of the mission because of the corrupt intrigues of politicians. The confrontation between him and some other members of the team will lead to enormous consequences that will radically affect the fate of the mission participants, and at the same time the fate of the planet Zeya.
