What will happen to people if the air suddenly turns black? What to do if you have to choose between salvation and betrayal, but there are only a few minutes left before the ship explodes? How to determine in the confused vortex of time who exactly fell into the black hole, and what happened before this someone fell into it? Is there a limit to space and what happens when you approach this limit? Read the answers to these questions in the collection of stories by Andrei Niktin “The Absorber”. The works of the young author Andrei Nikitin will certainly be of interest to a wide range of readers. On the one hand, the writer seems to be writing about fairly well-known and even banal things. But I ask you, do not believe the first impression - not everything is so simple here. One reality in the blink of an eye is replaced by an unearthly and simply mystical reality. The ordinary world suddenly bristles with completely unexpected obstacles and dangers. Living in the worlds of Andrei Nikitin is very difficult, difficult and quite dangerous. But it won’t be boring. That's for sure. After you “swallow” these books in one breath (otherwise it simply won’t work), you will definitely, looking around furtively, exhale noisily - ugh, it’s all just a book. But are you sure about this?..
