Archaeologist Verity Ogier is excavating an Earth that was depopulated three hundred years ago as a result of a catastrophe called the Nanocost. When the expedition fails, Verity, in order to avoid prosecution and rehabilitate herself, agrees to carry out a secret mission. Through a “wormhole” in space-time created by aliens, she travels to the mid-twentieth century to pick up documents of exceptional importance that another agent from the future, before his death, prepared for transmission to her. For the first time in Russian!
