In the 5th book, the corsair commander Sergey Kabanov becomes the Commander of Peter the Great.
Former passengers of the cruise liner “Nekrasov” managed not only to reach Russia, but also to earn the respect of the young tsar. However, there are now even more matters to deal with. Azov has been taken, but the war with the Ottoman Porte is still ongoing; a Streltsy uprising—a menacing ghost—hovers on the horizon; battles with the Swedes are approaching. The army must be prepared, industry must be created, and trade must be organized. But not everyone will necessarily welcome the planned elevation of Russia.
