Description
The year: 1929. The place: Leningrad, USSR. The scientific community is abuzz by the recent meteorite that blazed across the sky and came down on 2 June near Krasnoyarsk, Siberia. That brilliant ball of stone appeared like so much in the communist country, full of future potential, but fiery, blinding, dangerous.
Meanwhile, deep shadows are gathering in Moscow and Leningrad, for the frightening figure of General Secretary Joseph Stalin is taking control. Like a spider at the centre of a web, he monitors everything in Soviet society, ready to scurry out and devour.
The investigators are summoned to the office of Pietr Kutzenov, head of the New Research division of the Academy of Sciences in Leningrad. Kutzenov instructs them to make a secret mission to retrieve the remains of the meteorite. But the journey is filled with secrets and revelations, and no one will return unchanged!
