The first victim. Shekeli R.

The first victim. At the end of the 21st century, civilization is in a state close to agony. The wars and the uncontrolled environmental pollution led to the fact that the crops are scarce, industry is barely breathing, and the population is confused and does not see the slightest lumen ahead. The idea of ​​creating a grandiose show comes to someone's bright head-the Caribbean island, rented by Kartel, is the venue for deadly hunting. Any citizen from any country in the world can take part in it - both as a hunter and as a victim. The winnings are tens of thousands of dollars and worldwide glory, comparable to the glory of the stars of Hollywood. And so an ordinary guy from a tiny village in Arizona goes to Arkady to try his luck.

In addition to the “first victim”, the collection includes “Man overboard”, as well as the story “Myrix” and “Hunters of Stone Prairie” , whose events take place in the Universe created by Isaac Azimov.
