About the book: 2003 / The Earth Federation is losing one planet after another. Invisible, unknown enemies turn them into deserts, killing hundreds of thousands of people. The government cannot do anything to counter the seizure, because no one knows with whom and with such weapons it is necessary to fight. Artem Loginov, an inspector from the Security Directorate, is recruiting a special group for an expedition to Taira, which, apparently, should become the next target of the invaders, not so much in order to prevent the death of this planet, but in the hope of getting an answer to the question: where did it all begin and Is there still a chance for humanity to survive? However, the direct road in space is not always the shortest... Almost 20 years have passed since the publication of the famous story by E. Gulyakovsky “Strategy of Capture”. The time has come to develop a new “strategy”, because the expansion of earthlings in space has continuously expanded. The result of these inevitable processes is the novel “Capture Zone””.
