Válka memů 1 - Šedá zóna – Šusta Richard (2018)

The near future – humanity is colonizing the Solar System, but has not yet traveled to the stars. Developed countries maintain stable and prosperous economies and a non-profit first-movement movement promoting ecology and disarmament is spreading within them. Its seemingly peaceful activities are splitting the establishment and bringing the world closer to cosmic war. Open hostilities will not begin for another three and a half years, but secret agents from all sides are already building positions and gathering information. They operate in the gray zone, an environment where laws are not respected and civilians are not spared. Czech-Swiss Avien Helm is about to celebrate his twenty-first birthday, but he gets caught up in a liquidation operation suspected to involve first-movement members. While recovering in the hospital from the aftermath of the attack, enemies of his family strip him of all his possessions. In his private search for the culprits, he works for various groups. He becomes a police officer, a smuggler for an Islamic clan, a pilot on Mars, and a soldier in the world's most dangerous unit. He uncovers not only the identity of the murderers but also the secrets of a global conflict he names the Meme War. As a combat pilot, he participates in the battle at Saturn, where the direction of Earth's future development is decided.
