Творец реальностей. Часть 3. Фантазм
На страницах романа «Фантазм» читатель погружается в увлекательную историю первой любви в далёких 1970-х – наивную и прекрасную. Которая разворачивается перед читателем на фоне событий 1945 года. Конец войны, парад Победы и… расстрел Сталина и Берия, избрание генсеком ещё молодого Леонида Брежнева с внедренной матрицей из будущего. А ещё вы встретитесь с совсем юными Фиделем Кастро и Эрнесто (пока ещё не Че) Геварой, с дочерью президента США Гарри Трумена Маргарет и многими другими знакомцами и незнакомцами. Невероятная интрига закручивается в этот раз! Читатель погружается в тайны того, кто мы, зачем мы и что есть реальность, нас окружающая. Роман не даёт ответы на эти вопросы, но, надеюсь, даёт пищу для размышлений. А начинается всё с выстрела снайпера в августе 1941 года, убравшего с мировой сцены Никиту Хрущева. Странного такого снайпера… Сюжетных линий две (1978-79 и 1945-й) и они постоянно пересекаются. Поэтому, судить о том, какая из них главная придется каждому читателю самостоятельно. Книга является заключение трилогии «Творец реальностей», первая часть которой называется «Перестройка 2.0», вторая – «Метанойя».

Nick tries to secure transport to their witness-protection placement, urging everyone to stick to the identities laid out for them. They don't need any complications.
