Don’t think this is the story of another isekai protagonist. The book can be called a western and a chrono-opera, a Robinsonade, and a historical novel: its pages contain plenty of time travel, clashes with natives, robbers, and other classic adventures on land and at sea. However, it isn’t pure action. The hero not only acts—he observes, compares, and reflects. The book includes serious ethnographic and historical material about Eastern Siberia, the Far East, and former Russian territories of America—before they became Russian.
