Representatives of the noble families of the Holy Empire of the Interdependent States and the Trade Guilds are finally beginning to realize the scientifically proven fact that the currents of the Stream that connects the worlds of the Universe are drying up and the connections between the inhabited planets will soon be severed. But instead of thinking about saving the population of all worlds, the imperial nobility is concerned with only two problems: how to save itself by emigrating to the planet Edge, the only one suitable for life, and how to remove from power the legitimate ruler of the empire, who is calling for joint action to get out of the disastrous situations. And in the struggle to save humanity, Empress Greyland the Second decides to take the last step... “Torn Space” completes a new large-scale space opera from one of the brightest masters of world science fiction today. For the first time in Russian!
