Friends! I admit that it is from this free novella that you will begin (or not begin) your acquaintance with Alexei Avsherov, an anti-hero in the minds of the majority, a nonconformist and an example for bearers of alternative views. He is an introvert, not a stranger to misanthropy, a hedonist and in the future a sybarite, and also a hypochondriac. All his life, Alexey strove for independence from society and the state, fought for it and, having become a wealthy person, finally found it. The vicissitudes of the fate of Alexei Avsherov are described truthfully and with a dose of self-irony in the novel “Rogue”. Things were not easy for the hero with women, and only friendship with Eldakov (Son of Heaven) instilled confidence in him. Alexey quickly realized that the path to long-awaited intimacy with them is much shorter than is commonly believed among men and he realized this. If readers are interested in Alexei’s fate, they can satisfy their interest by reading the novel “Rogue” - a mix of detective, erotica and modern prose. The author writes under a pseudonym. Contains obscene language.
