At the end of the 21st century, the Earth sends a research expedition to a strange astrophysical anomaly, but before reaching the target, the ship disappears. It is found several centuries later, in the 29th century, and only one astronaut, Adam Zamoyski, is on board the lost ship. He doesn’t remember what happened, doesn’t understand how he survived, and besides, he’s not on the crew list, but that’s not what worries him in the first place. Adam found himself in a world where the very meaning of the word “man” has changed, where language has been modified, where reality is being recreated, where it is changeable, and the very concept of personality has been transformed beyond recognition. Here, competition is the engine of evolution, and the one who has better control of the planet’s resources and the very laws of physics wins. There is a complex struggle for power between humans, alien civilizations and post-human creatures. This is a world facing an unimaginable danger, and, paradoxically, a mysterious and primitive alien from the past has something to do with it, who turns out to be a key figure in a game in which he cannot even imagine the stakes.
