synopsis
A story about the arrival on earth of mysterious rose-colored clouds from deep space. Members of the Soviet Antarctic expedition are the first to encounter them, in a series of inexplicable events. The "clouds" are seen to be removing the Antarctic ice-cap and carrying it off into space. They are capable of reproducing any kind of atomic structure including living human beings. The heroes of the story meet their doppelgängers, come upon a duplicated airliner, journey through a copied city, and fight Gestapo that have been reconstructed from the past.
Scientists are unable to explain why terrestrial life is being copied and all attempts to contact the space beings are failing. Finally, however, Soviet scientists solve the enigma of the rose clouds and establish contact with a highly developed extra-galactic civilization.
