A new book from the STALKER series will be released only on the writer's website

    The famous science fiction writer Aleksey Kalugin said on his official website that he would write a continuation of the novel “Empty Lands”, which was published in the STALKER series - the most popular series of books that take place in the world of the Chernobyl zone from the sensational computer game of the same name.

    It would not be unusual, but the continuation expected by many readers of “Empty Lands” (it will be called “Empty Lands 2: New Firmware”) will be released only on the site. “ You wanted to find out what was in the aquarium near the Blind Stalker - you will find out! But only here. On the site. This is the only publication available to everyone. There are no others and will not be, ” the writer says.

    The site has already published the first chapter . The rest will appear as you write.

    According to Alexei Kalugin, he decided to abandon the paper publication of a new book, so as not to be bound by the conditions dictated by the book series . There will be more than enough actors, characters of the plot and “jumps” in time in the new novel. But the narrative itself will go beyond the usual stories about the Zone and will turn all readers' ideas about this mysterious place.

    Obviously, this writer’s move will attract the attention of not only science-fiction fans, but also those who follow the developments around the development of the e-book market in particular and the fate of copyright in the digital age as a whole. Well, at least it can make paper publishers think about something.
