About the book: 2011 / The “black archaeologist” got to the bottom of it – all the way back to the 17th century! He foolishly opened up a mysterious mound in the Black Sea steppes - and fell into the distant past, ending up in the Wild Field of 1637. And he would have been a slave to the Nogai steppe inhabitants, rotting in Turkish penal servitude or in the galleys - if a passing Cossack Cossack had not freed him from captivity. And real Cossacks, so you know, are not at all similar to those leafy images that modern propaganda paints: compared to them, even the famous pirates of the Caribbean are real angels. Our “misfit” will have to become a steppe robber and a Black Sea filibuster, participate in the legendary defense of Azov, fight with the Janissaries and board Ottoman ships, and if you’re lucky, even change the course of history. So - “Saryn on the kitschka!»
