The main character of the book is German Shabanov, one of many military pilots whose life and professional career resembled cucumber pickle at the turn of the century - some are lighter, some are cloudier. German was only a little more fortunate; for his high skill, he was hired as a ferryman at Rosvooruzhenie, transporting Russian fighters to foreign buyers. And then a new radio technology arrived, “Princess,” which makes the aircraft invisible not only to radar, but also in the infrared and optical wavelengths. The first fighter equipped with the new product was entrusted to Asian buyers to overtake Shabanova. True, the “Princess”’s temperament, like that of any woman, is fraught with surprises, and there are plenty of contenders for her hand... A captivating narrative that doesn’t let go from beginning to end.
