Urban IX, the almighty pope, ruler of the world, rules with an iron fist the peoples who have returned to the medieval way of life. On his orders, a spaceship is sent to the constellation Centaurus in the hope of conquering new territories for humanity. The newly-minted colonizers are surprised to discover on one of the planets an unknown people - atamids. But this discovery pales in comparison to an even more stunning find: the real tomb of Christ! The messengers of the Earth, driven by an unshakable faith, are trying to take possession of it, but suffer a crushing defeat. In response, Pope Urban equips the giant spaceship "Saint Michael", capable of transporting a million people. The Knights Templars Tancred and Alberic take part in the crusade to the new Jerusalem. Will the earthlings find contact with the atamides or will they sweep their civilization off the face of the planet? Can history repeat itself? For the first time in Russian!
