It is known that magicians like to call spirits and to knock down on them every black work: to build palaces, battle with enemies, search treasure et cetera. A tsar Solomon, for example, through a simple ring could without ceremony call countless masses of these industrious creatures. Not surprising, that the reign of him prospered. By the way, does remember Бартимеуса? That джинна at that language without bones. He was yet complicit in histories with Amulet Samarkand and by Eye of Голема and had the most direct attitude toward opening of Gates of Ptolemy. So, Бартимеус bragged knowingly, that talked with a tsar by Solomon. He held back only about that, this conversation passed under what circumstances, and about the role in events hardly making off very badly for the whole Ancient world.It is not continuation of famous "Trilogy Бартимеуса". This her beginning, prehistory. No less keen.
