Suppose you have a large globe, and you also have a gun. Turn the globe in any direction, and then grab the gun and start shooting at the globe. When the globe stops, you will see that the bullet holes form a certain curve. If you stretch a curve between the Earth and the planet Deneb, then a pistol will be located on this line, and the Earth is a globe. This is the Pilman Radiant.

Reviews
The zone has long entered the literary world and has become a source of inspiration for various works and games. However, Radiant Pilman was able to add new notes to the series. Readers note the innovations: Visitor Zones caused by the advent of alien ships. These Zones seem to develop, changing not only inside, but sometimes changing their location. People are trying to understand the Zone, then to fence them off from the world. Inevitably, a stream of stalkers stretches into the Zones, who are attracted there by mystery and danger. About some of these stalkers and these books are written.
