The life of a soldier in secret wars is full of surprises, which is why superpro Major Sarmatov has to drag an American intelligence officer on his hump, carrying out a mission of special national importance. But woe to the soldiers of secret wars when politicians interfere in their affairs, when their own people lose faith in them, dooming the heroes to certain death. However, it is too early to write off Major Sarmatov, who conducted secret operations in Angola and Lebanon, Nicaragua and Honduras, as expendable. He promised himself that he would definitely return to look into the eyes of those who betrayed him at least once again... The novel was also published under the title “War Lover.”
