In Center (the second book in the Crater series), the life of Yegor Koshkin – the protagonist of the previous book Crater – radically changes. He goes through challenges, and his friends are helping him as they come together again in the same area in Siberia on a rescue mission.

In this book, the reader dives deeper into the world of the characters introduced in Crater. They live in a rapidly changing world of post-Soviet Russia, when inflation went up beyond 2,000% (yes, my dear reader, it is two thousand percent, we lost everything that year). But life is going on, which means that hope and love are flourishing and provide respite from the grim reality.

In this book I tried to bring the reader closer to the lives of the main characters, so that we would be able to inderstand each other better.
