About the book: a year / Two centuries of heady expansion splashed humanity across the vastness of the Universe with bizarre worlds. Rich metropolises, countless colonies and wild space overrun by those who refused to recognize the power of corporations. They all considered themselves humanity to have entered a free era. Free from dense religions, inert laws and moldy dogmas of morality. The story of a young warrior born within the walls of the Order’s impregnable citadel - the planet Mars. The Red Planet has become the homeland and last stronghold of wandering judges, who burn out “tumors” on the tree of the human race without pity. Those who were given the right to hold people within the framework of the three postulates of human flourishing. But the unexpected contract of the young Nemesis turned into trials, in which the combat implants and tablets of the Order were of little help, and the skills and strength of the warrior were useless. To fulfill the will of the Departed One, the founder of the Order, the warrior will need to find what was lost. Only it will help him survive the confrontation with the awakened ancient creature. Win the battle and stop the legions that crushed the once invincible fleets and enslaved most of the human worlds.
