Another masterpiece from a recognized master of Russian science fiction! In 2245, as a result of an unknown cataclysm, the surface of the earth was completely covered with water, the old world disappeared forever, and the few survivors were divided into factions warring among themselves. Those who live richer in space, the rest are forced to survive on airships, hunting for scarce resources and each other. The inhabitants of Midgard, as they nicknamed their flying world, cannot see the surface of the water due to thick clouds from evaporation and the greenhouse effect. Continuous storms for decades and new forms of life that arose due to radiation in the depths of the ocean made the water surface inaccessible for many years. And countless wars led to the fact that 30 years later, power completely passed into the hands of corporations.
