1971. Climbing. Shchepetnov E.V.

The adventures of Mikhail Karpov in the USSR continue. Writing success allows the hero to move to Moscow and engage in the arrangement of life. After all the tests that our hero managed to overcome, copper pipes await him. The glory of the unexpectedly emerging writer-science fiction runs ahead of the hero. Knowledge somewhere helps Mikhail, and somewhere it harms. A ticket to the house of creativity, solid fees, success in women - all this is able to weaken attention and force to swim along the waves, receiving the maximum from life. But the hero is not like that. His tasks are global, and success is only a tool closer to the implementation of global goals. Will there be enough for the hero of strength to not deviate from the chosen course?
