Narrator Ivan Fedorov

The consciousness of a special forces officer code-named “Ermak,” who went through Afghanistan, two Chechen campaigns, several other conflicts, and overseas deployments, after his death is transferred to the year 1888. The new body belongs to a fourteen-year-old orphan—the future Cossack of the Amur Army. Now Ermak has to find his place in this new world. But the question “What to do next?” doesn’t exist for Ermak. He knows how to defend the Motherland—and it doesn’t matter what it’s called: the Russian Federation, the Soviet Union, or the Russian Empire. One man in a field isn’t a warrior. The hero has combat experience from the coming times, knowledge from the future about dramatic events, and a desire to avoid such a fate for his Motherland. Also, there are Cossack boys from his native stanitsa and a special forces training methodology. Will he be able to apply the skills of a 21st-century officer to change the events of a new world for him? Do what must be done, and let what will be… Time will tell...
