They called themselves Guides - reptilian aliens who set as their goal the complete enslavement of humanity. But Roman Volkov and his comrades in the Trien organization managed to carry out several successful operations that sharply limited the influence of the Guides on Earth in general and Russia in particular. The answer was not long in coming. And if previously the aliens tried to destroy their opponents in open confrontation, now they are using the dirtiest methods - kidnapping, blackmail, bribery. Everyone is in danger: the leaders of Trien, Roman himself, his relatives and friends. But the struggle does not stop. The cost of defeat is too high, too much is at stake.
