About the book: 2022 / A terrible thing happened. What is worse than the most painful death. The sniper is seriously wounded, and he has only a day to find a rare artifact in the Zone that can heal him - otherwise in twenty-four hours he will be completely paralyzed. Meanwhile, in the distant In Japan, Russian ninja Viktor Savelyev's daughter is kidnapped by Yakuza members. And in order to return her, he must deliver Sniper to the Yakuza lair - to certain death. What is more terrible - to die in the Zone immobilized or to die under torture in the hands of the most sophisticated killers on the planet, descended from medieval clans? But in reality - which difference? The main thing is to live the remaining hours so that you are not ashamed of yourself and your faithful friend - a knife named “Razor”, which Sniper has long and not by chance considered not just a weapon, but a creature living according to its own laws.
