About the book: 2019 / Going to suppress a riot in the zone, a young fighter of the Typhoon special forces detachment Taras Cherny did not suspect how this would end for him departure. After the explosion of a flash-and-sound grenade, he lost consciousness, and woke up in another time and another country. This country is called Sparta, and he himself is like two peas in a pod like a young Spartan named Gisander, who accidentally died before his eyes. Having taken the place of Gisander in the ranks of the Spartan “wolf cubs,” Taras is forced every day to prove his right to life in this new world. The weak cannot survive here. “Wild” morals reign here. And the whole life of the Spartans is preparation for death on the battlefield, which will cover them with glory. Taras does not want to die so early, even as a famous hero. He chooses a different path - not only to courageously resist the superior numbers of the Persian army at Thermopylae, but also to win this war battle after battle. If not by strength, then by perseverance and ingenuity.
