"Bear Cub" is a fantastic novel by Vasily Mahanenko, the first book of the “Bear Clan” cycle, genre urban fantasy. Death for the supreme mage has always been just a minor misunderstanding—after the seventh reincarnation you start to see the process differently. A small delay in the plans, nothing more. But he forgot the main thing: when plans get in the way of stronger beings, punishment follows. Another death didn’t bring relief—he was sent to another world, into a чужe body, but the worst part was that they left him with only the memory of his last reincarnation. Everything he knew or had learned before became inaccessible. In such difficult circumstances there’s only one choice left—either to gnaw out a place in the sun with your teeth, or fold your paws and surrender. Leg Ondo isn’t used to retreating—there were never cowards in the clan of the Brown Bear. If you fight, fight to the end. If you battle, battle to the last drop of blood. The main thing is to figure out the rules of the new world, its features, and understand how magic works here. And then no one will say that the youngest of the Bears is unworthy of a place in this world!
