The Mystery of the Missing Expedition

Artem's grandfather, geologist Viktor Korchagin, did not return from a mysterious journey to the mountains of Eastern Sayans. His family found his diary with a hint of an astonishing scientific discovery and an unambiguous warning: «It's more dangerous than I... thought. Don't look for me!» The warning did not scare Artem's parents. They set off into the taiga following Korchagin's trail: his father - to write an engaging article, his mother - to learn the fate of her father. Artem himself is enjoying his first big hike, but soon realizes that the guides hired by his father are clearly hiding something. Artem will have to unravel the true motives of the stern Fyodor Kuzmich, the silent giant Dzhambul, and other participants of the expedition, as not only his grandfather's discovery is at stake, but also the lives of his family.
