Uncovering the secrets of the border fortress and surveying the little-studied planet by a group of scouts sent to certain doom is the theme of the novels of the famous science fiction writer C. Greene. A team of suicide scouts lands on a little-known planet to establish the possibility of its colonization. They have no way back, and strange events that begin to occur immediately after the landing of the detachment, only increase tensions ("Hell's Peace") The border fortress, where huge reserves of gold are stored, has not been giving news about itself for a long time. Scouts who have come to understand what is happening are faced with countless monsters. But who controls them? ("The Dungeon of the Dead").
