About the book: 2000 / Mid-21st century. Independent journalist Konstantin Tamansky is sent as a war correspondent to Africa, where a total bloody war has been going on between local empires for many years using cyborg soldiers, space satellites with laser guns and other military technologies of the future. Recording the unprecedented atrocities of the warring parties and the absolute senselessness of what is happening, Tamansky comes to the conclusion that much more powerful forces are interested in this massacre than the puppet governments of the banana republics or the world superpowers. And even the sinister voodoo gods taking part in hostilities are most likely just pieces on the chessboard of invisible players.
