About the book: 2015 / 2021. The civil war split the United States in two, depriving Washington of Gulf of Mexico oil and forcing it to continue the war in Iraq. America is replacing its personnel units with mercenary troops and the National Guard. By the will of fate, Alexander Morgunov, who was recruited into the ranks of the mercenaries, finds himself drawn into the hunt for Kuwait's gold reserves and a confrontation with an entire regiment of American deserters - the "Storm Guardians" and their commander - Colonel Connors.
