Synopsis
Punishment came down from heaven, but... heaven missed. In the high-security penal colony for life-sentenced prisoners many survived. Not only employees and miraculously escaped civilians, but also gang organizers, mass murderers, brutal rapists, and, of course, those who are sure that they are not guilty of anything. For absolutely everyone, however, time has become a straight line on the monitor of humanity's heartbeat. Up against the wall, hands behind your back, feet shoulder width apart! Welcome to the White Swan.

Interesting Facts

 * The swan feathers on the cover, as the authors themselves ironically symbolize not only the "White Swan" prison, but also the fact that this is the "swan song" of the premium series.
