The entire familiar world collapsed and salty waves closed over the ruins of what was called civilization - indifferently beating against new shores that became even closer for many. Under-horunzhy Vovka Shcherbakov, a native islander of the island of Crimea, and his partner, a refugee from the mainland, junior constable Sasha Zastavsky, were simply trying survive and fulfill the duty of protecting their meager piece of land. Relying only on himself and the distant spark of the imperial orbital platform. In the thick of this earthly mess, Captain Anatoly Ledov suddenly finds himself the pilot of an orbital station shot down by unknown aliens. The old world no longer exists, but we need to live and try to build the future now... Will ordinary people be able to pass through captivity and the fire of endless battles in which the enemy can turn out to be completely different from what they fought... Drive post-apocalypse. The dynamic blockbuster-style narrative is filled with detailed descriptions of the combat work of the infantry, navy, and space forces.
