The Black Conductor

A new continuation of the “Black” cycle by Kontorovich, which set new standards for military-historical science fiction. The origins and history of the ultra-secret Directorate B-2, specially created to study the phenomenon of “popadants” (people who end up in another time or world), and in the future—also to correct the past and the future.
What is it—gift or perhaps a curse? Can “popadants” reshape history, or are all their actions nothing more than a pinprick to that very History? What is the purpose of these “time offenders,” and whose guilt do they atone for with their own blood? Whatever happened to the legendary Kotov, and is there a chance that the missing man will rise again?
By showing all the cards, “The Black Guide” will finally put dots over every “i.” From the First World War to the Great Patriotic War itself, from 1917 to the catastrophe at the start of the war, from border skirmishes to secret NKVD operations against British, Japanese, and German intelligence services—will the mysterious black guide not only force a path through the blood-soaked labyrinths of history, but also bring the “popadants” out from “the other side”?
