Players enter the arena and clear the field for the future Game. And in their plans there is no place for the dead-end branch of reason - humanity. Ten centuries ago, the Fayvers defended people’s right to life, but they left. Now, of their successors on Earth, there is only one Vlad Velich, a treasure hunter and military master, who has just emerged from his apprenticeship. His choice, his fate will become the fate of the entire intergalactic domain.
