AWOL

The central world of the universe is surrounded by petals of other worlds, among which is our Earth.

Agreeing to take the place of his runaway twin brother—an employee of the operations bureau of the border division in the mysterious Centrum—he suddenly finds himself at the very heart of a чужого, hostile, and mortally dangerous world. A world where a calm, not at all warlike “businessman” must learn how to pretend and lie, endure hunger and pain, fight and kill.
