This novel is a bold experiment, conceived and implemented on a truly galactic scale. Its authors - Nick Perumov, one of the recognized leaders of Russian science fiction, and the venerable American Allan Cole - joined forces and created their "Armageddon" - a slightly ironic, slightly parody science fiction action film, full of space adventures, detective investigations and powerful magic. There is also love in him, helping good to triumph over evil. This novel is significantly different from the books by Nick Perumov, to which we are all so accustomed and which we love so much; it is also not similar to “Stan” and “Athero” by Allan Cole, which were successful both in the USA and in Russia. This is the first truly international science fiction project, original, unexpected, unique.
