About the book: 2015 / A difficult task is set for Mary Alexandra Hamilton, a half-breed: to become the best - in everything. In physical training, in reaction speed, in combat aerobatics... Times change, spaces change. And those who want not only to survive, but also to win, have to change with them. Yes, it's difficult. But there is no choice, as there never was. From Beltane to the Russian Empire. From the corvette cabin to the palaces. Instead of a pilot's certificate, there are ambassador's credentials. Minus the shoulder straps - plus a new name. Minus certainty - plus uncertainty. Minus the usual life - plus... what? However, you are no stranger to it. And wherever the game takes place, whoever plays and whatever the bet, in the marked deck of Fate your card is a joker... And what do you want to do now? Accept the rules of the game or change them? Should you dance to someone else's tune or try to make your own? To the delight of new relatives, become a good girl or carry out special assignments?..
