Interstellar civilization did not survive the invasion of inhibitors - ruthless and incredibly patient cybernetic creatures who set themselves the goal of completely clearing the outer space they had captured of humanity. The few surviving people partly took refuge in the ruins of their worlds, and partly scattered throughout the Galaxy. For thirty years, a tiny community huddled in the hollow depths of an airless, cratered planet, hoping to live to see the day when the threat would pass. And suddenly the tracking equipment reported that a ship was approaching the planet. The likelihood that he will lead enemies to shelter is huge. And Miguel de Ruyter, the leader of the community, sets off to destroy the ship along with everyone who flies on board - and possibly die himself. For the first time in Russian!
