The dynamism of Alexander Pokrovsky is amazing. Reading his new novel is like a rapid movement along an icy chute, which takes your breath away. It tells how a person is sometimes given the ability to foresee the future, and how this knowledge, which illuminated him, comes into conflict with the surrounding routine - laws, regulations and statutes . But what to do when many lives depend on you, endowed with foresight? What words can you use to convince unsuspecting people about an impending disaster? Where can I get the strength to break the course of time? In the new book, Alexander Pokrovsky appears as a brilliant storyteller, a builder and resolver of intrigues and intricacies, a subtle observer and wit. Films and television series are based on his books. The circulation of his books is impressive. It is impossible to imagine Russian literature without his sharp pen.
