1929. Sergey Travin faces a dangerous journey across Russia, full of gunfights, spy conspiracies, and ominous secrets hidden in provincial towns.
Spring 1929. American traveler Richard Byrd makes a flight over the South Pole, and in Novosibirsk a book is published titled “The Conquest of Interstellar Space,” in which Soviet engineer Kondratyuk calculates the optimal flight route from Earth to the Moon. Sergey Travin also has a long road ahead—full of adventures and encounters, not always pleasant, with old acquaintances. The skeletons in the closet came to life and demand bloody revenge; bandits don’t sleep, and the train’s wheels swallow a hundred miles after another. Road adventures, gunfights, a village lost in the Russian outback full of ominous secrets, and a spy plot—everything is included.
