It has happened more than once that great scientific discoveries have turned into great disasters for humanity. So the construction between the orbits of Mars and the Earth of the Superstring - a superstring generator for the study of quantum gravity, which should help reveal the secret of the birth of the Universe - is causing increasing concern among both independent scientists and employees of the Federal Security Service of the Solar System. A chain of inexplicable coincidences connects the distant star cluster Omega Centaur and this grandiose creation of people. But are these coincidences random and what will be the consequences of the strange relationship? It's up to Ruslan Goryunov, a former rescuer and now a counterintelligence officer, to find out who, under the guise of an inspector at an agency for monitoring dangerous research, goes into the thick of things - where it is now being decided whether to exist or not to exist for humanity.
