There is no one in the Zone who has not heard of the legendary Cartographer. He knows the secret paths and understands the Zone like no one else, which is why his maps are more valuable than gold. The Chemist and Fistful are lucky: they get his creation, and they decide to go to the field of artifacts, not realizing that they have encroached on a secret that interests too many. And again they overcome anomalies that they would never have dreamed of before, fight unknown mutants and confront powerful enemies who want to get the map and touch the heart of the Zone. Now they cannot retreat: not only their own lives are at stake, but also the fate of the World of Stalkers. The fragile balance has been disrupted... What will be the price of victory?
