The hidden decree of Admiral Kolchak and no less secret instructions of the Bolshevik administration, linked to the greatest secret of the former Russian Empire, somehow intertwined the fates of the main characters of the novel— a White Army officer Rostislav Arceulov and a Red commander Stepan Kosukhin. A difficult path from cold Siberia to distant China. Resistance of enemies— the inhabitants of our planet and the inhuman. Support from friends— the living and the dead. And a spontaneous ending that turns into the beginning of a brand-new phase of an extraordinary story.
