For the first time in Russian - the latest novel by the famous author of "Terror" and "Drood", "Hyperion" and "Endymion", "Ilion" and "Olympus", "Song of Kali" and "Dark Game of Death". This time, the famed chameleon of modern literature, who has long and convincingly proved that he can handle any genre and style, turns to the near future - frighteningly close. In this future, the U.S. has lost its status as a world power, crushed by an unsustainable national debt, with several states after a successful reconquista went to Mexico; Russia, ruled by the permanent "Tsar Vladimir", continues to blackmail its neighbors for raw materials, Japan competes for world domination with the new World Caliphate, which has taken Europe and even Canada under itself, and most Americans are in the power of a drug called flashback, which allows you to vividly, as in reality, relive any events of their own past. And so Denver detective Nick Bottom, a longtime flashbacker, is approached by Hiroshi Nakamura, one of nine Japanese federal advisors, the most powerful men in the United States. Six years ago, Keigo Nakamura, the counselor's son, who was filming a documentary on the American flashback epidemic, was murdered and the crime remains unsolved. Nick Bottom was in charge of the investigation, but it wasn't this failure that cost him his career, it was the flashback, which he began abusing after the death of his wife. Now he is the only one who can under flashback to restore all the materials of the case and finally get to the truth. The truth, which - unless a miracle happens - will cost him his life.
