The ninth rank is the lowest rank among angels. And an angel definitely appears on the pages of the novel. But in fact, “The Ninth Order” is not about angels, but about people. About actors, bandits, costume designers, police officers, directors, hairdressers, operatives, lawyers and even Liberian customs officers.

The time of action is our days. The scene is Russia and a little Liberia. This is a fun theatrical murder romance. These are “Hero of Our Time” by Mikhail Lermontov and “Heroes of Our Days” by Oleg Egorov.

In a word, “The Ninth Order” is a humorous novel about our lives, where people laugh because there is nothing else left, and angels looking at this, they can hardly hold back their tears.
