Worlds connected by portals, and tens of thousands of races in the contradictory tangle of the Thousand Worlds. Old races are at war, young races are at war, corporate and gang wars are in full swing, and everyone knows the general rules of the game. Anything is possible, but you can’t awaken the old nightmares of the Thousand Worlds. And one of these nightmares is the one who mixed Russian blood and the blood of the True Alvari, Gennady Tikhonov. A real detonator in the murky cauldron of the Thousand Worlds.
