A collection of books, written by unpopular Soviet-era novelist Gromov, have incredible mystical powers. When Alexei inherits these as part of an uncle's estate, he has no idea of the power they hold and what a group of readers will do to possess them.

A DNF for me.
I rather enjoyed the set-up in which the history of the “special” books is explained. However, it then becomes incredibly slow, turgid and battle-heavy. Any deep meaning to be drawn from it escaped me. It just read like a rather boring “war-games” story.
