Он не тот, за кого себя выдает, и настолько привык притворяться кем-то иным, что давно позабыл, как выглядит собственное лицо. Он не любит причинять людям боль, но не расстается с кастетом и выкидным стилетом. Он – Петр, Пьер, Пьетро и Питер, но никто не знает, каким именем нарекли его при рождении. Не знает этого даже он сам. А попробуй разберись с собственным прошлым, если перешел дорогу анархистам, гангстерам и заезжим чернокнижникам!

В этом мире наука заняла место религии, пар и электричество сделали магию уделом изгоев, а сиятельные со своими сверхъестественными талантами лишены реальной власти. Но мечты механистов о золотом веке так и остались мечтами, и все явнее признаки приближающейся войны, равной по размаху которой человечество еще не знало…

About the author

Pavel Kornev

102 books91 followers
Pavel Kornev is a popular Russian author whose writing crosses the boundaries of the sci fi thriller, fantasy adventure and steampunk. Genre mashing has long become his signature style.

“His books are a page-turning mix of non-stop action and hard-boiled detective stories in the edgy atmosphere of steampunk noir. Far from being a knight on a white charger, Kornev’s typical protagonist is an everyday man with his fair share of flaws who puts his talents to good use. His heroes struggle to survive and win their places in the sun; but most importantly, they manage to preserve their humanity even in the direst of circumstances.”

Pavel is a professional economist who spent years working for a large bank – until his first novel, The Ice, became an overnight bestseller, allowing him to quit his day job. He now writes full time.

I liked this book. It was quite interesting to see this world from another point of view and also the characters which we knew from the previous books. Maybe Albert at last got lucky :)

Так хорошо все начиналось - а финал совершенно скомканный и безликий
