Continuing the legendary “Frame”, the Knigovek Book Club is releasing a three-volume set of selected Works by Vasily Golovachev. Three novels by the master of Russian science fiction address the theme of time and its inhabitants, glorified by H.G. Wells and Isaac Asimov. The author’s view of the problem of time as a field for the Universal Game is so unusual, and the events are so extraordinary that they will appeal to all fans of science fiction. Ivor Zhdanov does not yet realize that he carries within himself the ancestral memory and the ability to operate with time and space, and therefore, is a potential participant in the Game, in which the fate of the Metaverses and the entire Tree of Time is at stake. The first game is lost - a detachment of chronomarines under the command of Father Ivor falls into a trap in one of the “withering” Branches of the Tree. Gathering a team of like-minded people, saving people, finding enemy emissaries and neutralizing them is the minimum task. Understanding the principles of the Game and making them work for humanity is the goal. Is it achievable?
