16+ The second book in the series “The Grand Duke’s Grandson.” In the Solar System, to the Earth planet, humanoids from the Galactic Empire arrive to carry out an experiment in transferring a human’s consciousness into another parallel world, which is behind our time by one hundred years. The experiment’s goal is to understand whether one person can redirect the course of history along a different branch.
The donor is our contemporary, a retired intelligence colonel, Dmitry Ryumin. His consciousness is transferred into the body of a young officer of the Tsarist army—the grandson of the Grand Duke and a bastard. Dmitry simply serves the new Fatherland. Yet knowing from his history all the problems ahead, he takes measures—sometimes radical ones. This doesn’t bother him, because he has to live a second life in this world.
Reaching certain heights in his career and drawing closer to people of the royal family, the main hero begins influencing both external and internal policy. Right now, his goal is not only to develop the country economically, but also to end the Russo-Japanese War faster.
