Please forgive me, dear readers who have read “Faith of the Outcasts,” but this book describes the path not of Eric, but of a completely different Executioner, who at first did not even recognize himself as such. And the Earth depicted here is by no means the same Earth as in Outcast Faith. Why is that? I don’t have an answer, it just happened that way. I apologize right away, but the book is absolutely intolerant. I perceive the term “tolerance” only in the medical sense – as the body’s inability to fight infection. In a social organism, society, this is also the case. The history of the described world is also somewhat different from the history of our planet. Very little, but still. What happened there did not happen to us. And vice versa. This text has been seriously rewritten and changed. Several years have passed since I started writing this book, I have changed, the situation in the world has changed, that’s why I rewrote “Step.” All coincidences with real people or events are accidental. The book from beginning to end is the fruit of the author's imagination.Author
