SECOND BOOK of the “Young Gods” series. He saw his girlfriend die under the wheels of a car with young people intoxicated with dope and impunity. The last thing he remembered was the flash of a shot from a pistol aimed at his face. Waking up after death, he finds himself in the Great City of the Trajan era, where, to his surprise, Russian and English speech is heard. And the first thing that appears to his eyes is the unbearable sight of how a high-born buyer takes away his beloved girl in a slave collar.
