About the book: 2019 / Ten months have passed after the war, the shortest in the history of human civilization - a war in which everyone lost. A cold, dark night enveloped the earth, ice bound the seas and rivers, snowstorms and blizzards covered dead cities with snow and soot - this is our world now. The war claimed hundreds of thousands of human lives, radiation killed millions, and cold took billions. There were only a few left - those who were lucky to avoid a fatal dose and who continued to fight for life when the sunlight dried up and frost hit. But not all survivors remained human.
