White Square. Seizing Destiny

Two men approached a white square of tatami from opposite sides—Viktor Spiridonov, a noble officer who had learned judo in Japanese captivity, and Vasily Oschsepkov, the son of deported parents who received a dan in judo’s sacred place, Kodokan. Two men united by a common cause, yet divided by politics and personal views. Still, they might have gotten along—if not for betrayal. It is against betrayal that both of them must wage an uncompromising struggle. But what do you do when the person closest to you is entangled in it—when the bitter taste of poison is woven into your last love in life?.. Fate, like the judge at a duel, knows no mercy.
