Captain Uldemir and his crew need to return to the planet Assart, where the war will not end. Now their task is not to destroy the enemy, but to ensure that not a single shot is fired in this world. This turns out to be much more difficult than conducting a daring reconnaissance or landing operation. But the price of this single shot may be too high - it may become the last straw in the patience of the Universal Forces, which decide the fate of humanity and the entire Universe. The novel is published for the first time. The book is published in the author's edition.
