Distorting reality. Book One. Countdown. Mikhail Atamanov

The long -awaited first contact with alien civilization, people frankly overslept, did not believe in his reality. As they did not believe in the fact that the immunity allotted from the invasion of space is very, very limited, and after its end, any of the many space empires can occupy our planet.

The only way to salvation is to take part in the virtual game proposed by aliens. Its goals are foggy, the servers are not clear where, and the principles of work are not explained. But she is gaining momentum, delaying an increasing number of people, and soon it becomes clear that game events directly affect our reality. And not only ours...

Can a poor student from the provincial Suzdal Kirill Komarov, literally mobilized to participate in the game, at least somehow influence its move?
