The three heroes of the novel are not named. A philosopher trying to understand and know the world and himself in this world; Developer of top-secret military systems; A traitor who betrays everything and everyone, even himself, and in the end he himself is betrayed. Ephraim Bauch knew both Berg and Ziegel, but, unlike his “alter ego” Orman, under real names. Not only the characters are authentic, but also the circumstances of the action of the novel. The great confrontations of the last decades of the past century are depicted with heightened accuracy. The central event of the novel is the operation “Peace of Galilee” in 1982, several hours of which shocked the world. The Israeli Air Force destroyed all Syrian surface-to-air missiles, and Syrian air defense, an analogue of the Warsaw Pact defense system, was defenseless. On the pages of the book, the exciting line of a spy thriller intersperses with a modern intellectual novel.
