A former military engineer with extensive experience, but who finds himself out of work in our world after retirement, finds himself in the world of magic and begins to get used to the new reality, not of his own free will, finding himself in the very center of events - a war between the intelligence services of three races, sabotage, assassination attempts , conspiracies, a coup... And here you also have to progress - who said it was easy in a world with medieval technology? Everything is not like people’s - no, so that, like all the random people, they can invent moonshine, a sawmill, a newspaper, or, at worst, a commander’s turret. But what has already been invented on Earth and is firmly forgotten here is possible to repeat, especially if technology is helped by magic, while at the same time fighting off sabotage and reconnaissance groups of elves and gnomes sent after your soul.
