Continuation of the cycle “Discarnate”. 1877. Glavger has already earned his money in the Klondike, and even created the starting commercial and production infrastructure with his own money. Well, and something along the scientific and invention line. Not only that, but he also helped break California into two parts. And he begins to stretch his tentacles beyond the boundaries of his current habitat (oh, they’ll chop off his limbs). For some reason, he set his sights on the northernmost island of the Kuril archipelago, intending to buy it from Japan. And whether to buy some land from the Boers or rent it is not yet clear. In addition, he and his battalion are going to help the Montenegrins in their war with the Ottoman Empire. Oh, he’ll get it in the nuts, they’ll kill the leader and the whole perestroika will end there. And why can’t a person sit peacefully when the chickens don’t eat money?
