Somewhere there is a world in which it is hard to live and hard to die - and yet it is somehow attractive...

This book was never intended for commercial publication (unlike the rest of my books - I repent of my pride...) Therefore, my readers may encounter plots and images from it in my other works. The novel was written in full, but, unfortunately, in those days when I did not have a computer, and this activity depresses me - copying from paper sheets into a file. Nevertheless, this is a completely independent novel. Open it. Maybe you'll like it.
