The tales and short stories collected in Igor Bunich’s book were written at different times and in different genres, but they are all united by a thought expressed by one of the heroes, Jerry McIntyre: “He who survives the labyrinth will find himself in the center of devilry.” .

In the “center of devilry” were the youngest son of the Ulyanovs, Volodya, who later created the USSR - “Satan’s Training Ground”; Joseph Stalin, entangled in the “Labyrinths of Madness” (“Madame Rathenau”); the old security officer Lukich is a master of unsurpassed tales about Lenin, Bormann, Hitler; John Fuller, who investigated the “case of ghosts” appearing in super airliners.
