Our names are Gabriel and Diana Zang, and we were writers for the fan movie STALKER: Monolith's Whisper, Exodis (a national award winning sci-fi short movie) and The Chamber, a short movie set in the STALKER universe as well as a Board Game designers.

Through this campaign we aim to accomplish two things:

• Share this mind-blowing story and universe with you
• Give our first step to become sci-fi writers, basically fulfill a dream :) 

With your contribution you will not only help us grow, but you will be fueling and giving tangible life to the rich universe within the books and the board game.

If you loved STALKER: Monolith's Whisper, The Chamber or any of our works, you'll love Norilsk Incident even more. If not, our you haven't seen any of those yet, give it a shot anyway, you'll love it as well.

Norilsk, a city in the far frozen plains of Siberia is struck by an unknown object falling from the sky and all the city inhabitants dissapear without a trace.

For almost a year, military and private parties tried to lead successful expeditions to find out the reason to the dissapearance of almost 200.000 people, but every group who tried to reach Norilsk dissapeared as well.

Now four separate parties, without knowledge of each other are to try as well.

"The Marauders", as they call themselves, formers residents of Norilsk, thieves and looters are willing to reach the city and reclaim it as their own property.

I.F.R.I.T. Spec Ops, Mercenaries under contract are to extract the object, of classified nature, that crashed into the city.

The Ex-Professo scientific group, comprised by some of the best scientists in the world intend to reach the crashsite to gather as much information as possible and retrieve the object as well.

A modern Cult called The Cult of Pappsukkal believes "The Messenger" has arrived to give the world knowledge and technology that would start a new era. To fulfill the prophecies found in ancient Babylonian texts, they intend to meet Papsukkal, the messenger from the skies.

The funds we gather will be invested in:

• Edition and design
• Book printing and publishing
• E-book conversion and edition
• Board Game manufacturing
• Shipping costs for the previous items
• Artwork
• Advertising + Con-Booths (yes! comic conventions!)

Since this is a two branch project, there are perks for those who like reading but don't like board games, those who like board games but dislike reading, and of course, to those who want to live the Norilsk Universe to the limit :D

We LOVE freebies, and we'll give freebies! Book Chapter previews, Artwork, and a few contests we have planned throughout the campaign. All you have to do is add us in Facebook and stay sharp for news! 

You can grab the freebies at FZ Ideas or through the Gallery Tab above.

Should we not meet the goal by the end of the campaign, don't worry, you'll still get what your perk included. We'll figure out a way and make sure you don't miss a single bit of this story.

It's because we realize the potential this Universe has that we want to reach as far as we can to have it expand as much as possible.

This book and boardgame project could easily be turned into a movie, TV series or even a videogame, once you lay your hands on the free chapters and the books you'll see what we're talking about.

We also want to serve as inspiration to other people so they dare to take the same leap of faith we're taking. STALKER: Monolith's Whisper inspired many people, and we think this brand new project will inspire even more!
