About the book: year / Continuation of the adventures of a free pilot. Initially, this text was conceived as a collection of stories about the struggle of the surviving inhabitants of the Earth with mechanical life forms. But, to the author’s displeasure, something went wrong and something more grew out of individual stories, telling about the final stage of Igor Maslov’s adventures, which put an end to the series “Beyond the Canopy of Lightning.” Or rather, an ellipsis, because his adventures will continue further, but in a slightly different, unexpected form. In this book, the reader will find not only the Earth, after the invasion of mechanoids, but also a certain strange world created by the Ancient One familiar to you, after passing through which the main character and his friends will find themselves faced with an unexpected discovery, the with the most ellipsis, as was written above.
