1972. Schepepnov E.V.

Mikhail Karpov, a Soviet science fiction writer, who seemed to be out of nowhere, continues his adventures in the United States. Preliminary preparation for the film adaptation of his novel is close to completion, and the American media machine continues to promote the image of an amazing Russian writer. After all, he is a brave fighter, who defeated several armed criminals alone, and, as they say, a sorcerer who sees the future. The love of the public for the show gives the writer not too much joy and is rather perceived as the necessary evil. Meanwhile, the political games of our hero begin to bear fruit. And when he will return to the USSR, will it be the same country that he knew? And whether bets were made correctly.
