: Roadside Picnic is based on an alien visitation to planet Earth, whose
: aftermath has led to the creation of "Zones" in the areas where
: the aliens had possibly landed. Such zones exhibit strange and dangerous
: phenomena not understood by humans, and contain artifacts with
: inexplicable, seemingly supernatural properties. World governments and the
: UN try to keep tight control over them to prevent leakage of artifacts
: from the Zones, fearful of unforeseen consequences. A subculture of
: Stalkers, thieves going into the Zones to get the artifacts, evolves
: around the Zones.
Awesome find, Hamish!
And hey, look at that cover art. It's our old friend the Flaming Smokey Dude (aka Demon)! And look, he's finally got arms! ;)
