Andrei Bulavin, our contemporary from the near future, is drawn into the game of powerful space empires. It all started with the fact that several accidents occurred at the American commercial station. The families of the victims were paid significant compensation, and the case was hushed up. But two weeks later, communication with the station unexpectedly disappeared. The US government sent a shuttle there, but the US military, after stepping over the station's gateway, no longer got in touch... And then a special-purpose detachment of the space forces of the Russian Federation under the command of Colonel Andrei Bulavin was sent to help them. If they knew what they would find there and WHAT it would lead to, then it would be better to immediately blow up this damned station!.
