About the book: year / The novel "Last Chance" belongs to the genre of science fiction. The action takes place in our time, but in a different reality, branched off from our branch in 1953. Since the inertia of the universe is quite great, many of the heroes of the work have recognizable prototypes in our reality. But, nevertheless, these are different people, so we should not equate them with our contemporaries. The novel describes how our world could change if we were given such a chance. The main character is a professor at one of the Leningrad universities (in the reality described, the city was not renamed), who unexpectedly came into contact with the Unified Information and Energy Field of the Earth. The purpose of the contact and the subsequent actions of the protagonist is to change the existing trends leading to the destruction of human civilization. The main obstacles on the path of the protagonist: the established state-criminal system and the “world behind the scenes.” The novel is not a simple criticism of reality, but proposes and describes in in some ways absolutely real, and in some ways fantastic ways out of a crisis situation. In this novel, the line between fantasy and reality is quite unsteady and not always perceptible not only for the reader who is not an expert in a particular field, but also for the author himself. The time period described in the novel is approximately two weeks (end of May and beginning of June 2011). In the future, another book is planned - a continuation, describing subsequent events in 2012. Thus, the novel can be considered as the first part of a dilogy, and possibly a trilogy..
