Ronin

“Ronin” is a science-fiction novel by Alexander Sedykh and Vyacheslav Sedykh, the second book of the “Son of the Witch” cycle; genre: action science fiction, alternative history. In the midst of World War I, fate throws a Cossack off his horse—now this won’t be his war. However, the Witch’s Son can’t be held in the shackles of Sakhalin penal servitude. He won’t be able to reach the longed-for shores of South America quickly—so he’ll have to wander through Japanese islands and, in China’s Macau, also cause trouble. Enemies and friends have already seen the Cossack in the guise of a soldier, a medic, even a shaman—now they will recognize him in other roles: a street fighter, a fakir, a gambler, a healer. Alexey will also learn first love and bitter parting. And his stepmother Death will force the warrior profession back into his life again: every kind of contre will interfere, preventing the free anarchist from raising the banner of freedom over an oppressed world. In Japan, the samurai without a master are called ronin— a dangerous ghost, wandering like a sea wave, with a frightening hidden, unpredictable destructive force inside.
