Once in a distant, distant galaxy... Ah no, someone has once written it... So, this is: in one close and painful native galaxy, a very special agent of the Institute of Contact named Dinoel Terra-Etin lived. And he lived almost calmly, until they instructed him to reveal the riddle of the aliens of the straws. And everything would be fine, but on a backward planet, not only the era of the “modernized Middle Ages” reigns, but also the local ruler, who does not disdain dirty tricks. However, the protagonist here is not at all Dinoel, but the story itself, expertly flooded from many storylines by the winner of the New Horizons - 2018 Prize. She is contrary to all the templates, erasing the boundaries between science fiction and intellectual prose. According to Galina Yuzefovich, literary critic, the observer of the Medusa portal, Roman Andrei Lyakh is an important new word in Russian modern literature.
