It becomes simply impossible to live in Moscow: every day the capital is shaken by terrorist attacks, chaos and devastation all around. The main character Katya also collapses: both in family life and at work. And then he appears - an alien from Alpha Capricorn - and offers to evacuate from the dying Earth to his home planet, where everything is different. But you can take only five people with you - how to choose them? The unpredictable plot, irony, depth and aphorism of conclusions about Russia, which are not always funny, is the novel "The Tow Truck" by Dmitry Bykov.
