The Stone Age is no longer the past. The laws of the cosmos are indifferent: if the lights go out forever on a piece of rock in the middle of the void, creation will not notice. For the Universe, it is a routine event. But not everyone is ready to accept such a sentence. Engineer Elias Cross knows how to survive the coming darkness and preserve the spark of life. Only the price of salvation is exorbitant, and those accustomed to ruling the world have their own strictly predatory plans for his genius. In a harsh confrontation, survival is only the beginning. On one side—brute force, limitless resources, and dictatorship. On the other—duty, self-sacrifice, and a risky symbiosis of human and synthetic logic. The forces are unequal, but the chances remain. A race for survival begins, where for many, the finish line will turn out to be the edge of a mass grave.
