Senior Lieutenant Andrei Zverev adored science fiction since childhood and always wanted to be in the place of its heroes. And he ended up in Afghanistan, among wild mountains and brutal dushmans. And it must happen that his love of science fiction came in handy when he had to accompany a top secret cargo from... a parallel world! The once powerful state of Elosta, located in the region where Pakistan is located in our reality, is ready to pay the USSR with advanced technologies for military assistance. After all, the Afghan Mujahideen found a loophole into a parallel world and carried out a massacre in it. But this is not so bad, the trouble is that the neighboring countries started a full-scale war in order to take revenge on Elost for her former power. And Lieutenant Zverev, who found himself on the other side of the Gate, experienced firsthand what science fiction is... In battle!
