About the book: 2014 / Sand, dust, scorching heat and... What else can be said about the Sahara? The life of a Russian soldier in the UN contingent is complex, difficult and sometimes inexplicable. Especially far from native birch trees, in the middle of a barren desert. But the heroes got their hands on a magic card! Literally magical: they are now heirs to the secret knowledge of the ancient magician and the useful advice of his nosy servant!
