The 21st century was on the brink of nuclear confrontation when the 300 kilometer-long stone flashed out of nothingness and into Earth's orbit. NASA, NATO, and the UN sent explorers to the asteroid's surface...and discovered marvels and mysteries to drive researchers mad. For the Stone was from space--but perhaps not our space; it came from the future--but perhaps not our future; and within the hollowed asteroid was Thistledown. The remains of a vanished civilization. A human --English, Russian, and Chinese-speaking--civilization. Seven vast chambers containing forests, lakes, rivers, hanging cities... And museums describing the Death; the catastrophic war that was about to occur; the horror and the long winter that would follow. But while scientists and politicians bickered about how to use the information to stop the Death, the Stone yielded a secret that made even Earth's survival pale into insignificance.

In een zonnige stad aan de kust van de Middellandse Zee arriveert, op een mooie zomerochtend, Ivan Zjilin. Hij vindt er een pension en bezoekt, net als iedere rechtgeaarde toerist, de gelegenheden waar de bevolking haar - overvloedige - vrije tijd doorbrengt. De mensen zijn in de greep van het amusement en hun zucht naar ontspanning en verrukking overschrijdt alle grenzen. Zo zijn er de dagelijkse orgieën met drank en drugs, en de psychedelische 'rillers' waarbij mannen en vrouwen zich massaal overgeven aan verbijsterende hallucinaties. Maar welke is de hoogste verrukking? Om dat te ontdekken neemt geheim agent Zjilin grote risico's, maar het grootste gevaar is; de verrukking zelf...
