Abstract: The road to hell is paved with good intentions (Samuel Johnson). His calm and peaceful life was interrupted by a terrible disaster. Maxim doesn’t have much time left, but even these days are turning into real hell. After being kidnapped from the hospital, he will constantly have to fight for his life. It would seem, what’s the point if all that’s left of life is a dying ember? But a meeting with Anna turns everything upside down and now together they will have to stop Professor Cromwell, who is leading humanity to inevitable death. They have nowhere to retreat; now the fate of fifteen billion people living on Earth and colonists of the Moon is in their hands.
