About this product

Product Information

Red Schuhart is a stalker, one of those strange misfits who are compelled by some unknown force to venture illegally into the Zone and, in spite of the extreme danger, collect the mysterious artefacts that the alien visitors left scattered around. His life is dominated by the Zone and the thriving black market in the alien products. Even the nature of his daughter has been determined by the Zone. And it is for her that Red makes his last, tragic foray into the hazardous and hostile depths.

  • A guide for Stalkers and fixers alike

    This book is where it all began. Leads into the Zone by the nose, closes your eyes, spins you round and gives you a shove. No anomaly this; survival is on you. This should be mandated reading for any Sci-Fi fan. It should probably be on school reading lists. Far From The Madding Crowd is a perfect summary of the book but this is well written and keeps you hooked to the end. Unlike Hardy's turgid tripe.

  • Well written with intriguing characters.

    This is a very well written book with an easy reading style to it. The storyline is involving and the characters become more appealing as the story progresses. A very good read.

  • Great title.

    If you have seen the film (stalker) this is the book, when alien visited earth they left artifacts scattered around, this is known as the zone, creating a black market for the articles.

  • Compelling.

    A masterpiece of SF. The writers deftly convey much of the imagined world in few words. The main character is cynical and resigned, but the overall effect is compelling. I did not want it to end.
