Peacemakers

The Turkish army in Bulgaria has been crushed and turned into swarms of fleeing looters; the brief Russo-Turkish war is over. It’s time to create a new world unlike the old one. After hired assassins shot dead the Russian Emperor Alexander II at the entrance to Sofia—Alexander, known in history as the Tsar Liberator—and his place was taken by his elder son, the angry Alexander III, the 20th century arrived on Earth early.

Everything is mixed up in European affairs: a joint Russian–Yugorosso–German investigative commission digs the ground with their noses. The hot trail leads to Vienna—Emperor Franz Joseph is in horror. But is it really that simple? In the middle of the investigation, British Prime Minister Disraeli unexpectedly decides to die after meeting Queen Victoria. Is this an attempt to escape responsibility for organizing the killing of the tsar—or are there other skeletons in the British cupboard?
And at the same time, in the circle of Yugorosso Chancellor Tambovtsev, American Confederates and Irish freedom fighters begin to revolve. Over the United States of North America and the British Empire, clouds gather and thunder rolls—everything according to the cherished promise that on the planet Earth Russia and Yugorossia should have only good neighbors.
