The final chapter of the adventures of the old soldier Hottabych. He is one hundred and two years old, and this is a heavy burden—especially for a lonely retired veteran. His only wish was to leave life peacefully. But fate decided otherwise: he had to leave while fighting, and he fell in an unequal battle. Still, he achieved victory by taking his enemies with him. But that wasn’t enough for the merciless fate: he was resurrected in the past, on the sacrificial altar in the midst of war—under the knife of a priest from the Black Order of the SS. He managed to survive and rose again to defend his homeland, even if it was another world, another country, and another war. After all, freedom and justice matter in any world—and for them it is worth fighting, even at the cost of blood.
