Autumn Visits is a novel by Sergey Lukyanenko, published in 1997. It was written in a very unusual style for this author.

In a poor, downtrodden Russia, a vector of future development of the world is being defined. Six Forces send their envoys, doubles of real people; they are almost the same as their prototypes: envoy can do only that what prototype can... but unlike them, envoys believe in their own forces, and thus can change the world.

Six forces: Kindness, Development, Science, Power, Force and Art. This world (actully, the whole action takes place in Russia and Ukraina) lacks kindness; but the double of a female doctor would bring the Kindness of medieval crusades.

Science, which can't defend itself...

Art, unable to do anything, because he imagines very well, how much blood would he spill. Like a painter Schicklgruber did...

Force and Power. An officeer and a deputy. A country, with strong army, without crime... And a mighty powerful state.

Prototype of Development is a kid. Development can turn a tale into reality: spaceships and progress... But the one, who lost belief in people, would not make the world better.

And the last, seventh player is a killer, his force is Dark. Absence of any bounds and freedom to go in any direction you want. Always against all.

The one, who will survive, will set the direction of world evolution. But it seems to be, that happy end is impossible...
