      Стэн, не имеющий практически никаких других вариантов действий, поднял отчаянный мятеж против стремительно теряющего рассудок Вечного Императора. И хотя ему удалось найти союзников в этой борьбе и нанести империи несколько чувствительных ударов, на самом деле успех или неудача зависят исключительно от того, удастся ли Стэну и его сподвижникам разгадать два самых главных секрета бессмертного владыки – откуда берётся Антиматерия-2 и каким образом император возвращается после смерти. Именно этим вопросам приходится уделять львиную долю внимания, при том что ни один из других «фронтов» борьбы упускать из виду нельзя – пусть император безумен, но он далеко не глуп, и любой промах мятежников может стать для них фатальным.
