Lysak Sergey Vasilievich. The Odyssey of Admiral Cortez. Book three. From the Hudson to La Plata (with publisher's cover).

Aliens from another world defended their independence and are building a new life, founding the first Russian city in the New World - Fort Ross, fully enjoying the support of the local population of Indians, mestizos and common Spaniards. The words Russian America are firmly established in everyday life and acquire a tangible meaning. But...
