Someone is starting a big game, trying to crush the tablets of history. Unknown heroes intervene in the confrontation between Hannibal and Carthage - players who put their passion above the fate of humanity. History changes its course: as prescribed by it, the Punes and the Romans fight fiercely among themselves, but at this very moment the barbarians of the distant steppes suddenly awaken, hordes of which crush China and begin a victorious march to the West... The plot of the novel develops against the backdrop of real events of the last quarter of III century BC e. The arena of events is the whole world - from Iberia to China; heroes are all those who determined the fate of the world at that time: Chinese Emperor Qin Shi Huang, Hannibal, Scipio and many others. The real story suddenly gives way to an alternative that seems to have no explanation. However, it exists, and its essence is in the game, and in that inexplicable passion that a person experiences for the life-giving Sun... Knowledgeably presented historical and everyday realities of events centuries ago are complemented by the rich imagination of the author. Able to please simply a lover of good-quality adventure literature, the book will be a real discovery for fans of “strategies”, who with their own will determine the future history and course of destinies.
