“Clock of the Earth” is a fantasy novel by Denis Deev, the first book of the series of the same name, the genre is combat fantasy, RealRPG. We are losing the war. Not because we have bad weapons. Our weapons are a fusion of advanced earthly technologies and alien artifacts. Our Outposts are impregnable fortresses that can survive siege for years. They are served by the elite, the best scientists and warriors on the planet. But we lose battles because we cannot understand the logic of the enemy. Why do aliens selectively destroy some species and leave others alone? Why do they make us stronger from battle to battle? It's hard to fight when your enemy is unknown... but our armor is strong and our 'Mechs are fast!
