In the aftermath of an extraterrestrial arrival, six areas around the globe are marked by their presence. Called "Visitation Zones", strange phenomena and objects remain where alien forces left their mark. Humanity now tries to understand what has happened, heavily restricting access to the Visitation Zones. However, the profits to be had draw in scavengers, called "stalkers", to bring the artifacts to willing customers. Redrick Schuhardt is one of those stalkers salvaging the remains of this alien Roadside Picnic.<br /><br />'Roadside Picnic' was published in the former Soviet Union by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky in 1972. The novel would provide inspiration for a film made in 1979, as well as the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game series. Receiving heavy censorship from Soviet authorities, it would not be until 2012 that a version restored to its original version was available. I hope you enjoy, and wishing you all happiness.
