Последний город
Пыль и песок. Серый асфальт и под стать ему — затянувшая небо пелена. Тусклое пятно солнца, зависшего над шпилями рвущихся ввысь башен. И Город — последний оплот мира, провалившегося в небытие.
Марк Лом — стажер Службы контроля. Организации, призванной защищать горожан от приходящих из-за ограды созданий Хаоса, чернокнижников и порождений пустоты. Но что он будет делать, когда однажды столкнётся с изнанкой этого мира? Сумеет ли вопреки обстоятельствам остаться человеком или так и сгинет, став пешкой в чужой игре?

About the author
Pavel Kornev
105 books92 followersPavel Kornev is a popular Russian author whose writing crosses the boundaries of the sci fi thriller, fantasy adventure and steampunk. Genre mashing has long become his signature style.
“His books are a page-turning mix of non-stop action and hard-boiled detective stories in the edgy atmosphere of steampunk noir. Far from being a knight on a white charger, Kornev’s typical protagonist is an everyday man with his fair share of flaws who puts his talents to good use. His heroes struggle to survive and win their places in the sun; but most importantly, they manage to preserve their humanity even in the direst of circumstances.”
Pavel is a professional economist who spent years working for a large bank – until his first novel, The Ice, became an overnight bestseller, allowing him to quit his day job. He now writes full time.
