About the book: 2015 / “When you peer into the Abyss, the Abyss looks into you” (“Wenn du lange in einen Abgrund blickst, blickt der Abgrund auch in dich hinein” ) – that’s what Nietzsche said. And those who look into the Abyss of time risk perishing in this deadly whirlpool... Two bestsellers in one volume. Our contemporaries in the depths of the past. Having sunk to the bottom of history, the “fallen people” take on the battle during the Great Patriotic War and on the far borders of the Moscow Principality. They will have to become a Soviet submariner and a Russian sailor, fight against Kriegsmarine aces, Tatar bandits and Barbary pirates, go on torpedo attacks and desperate boardings, delirium from suffocation in a sunken submarine, challenge the storms and whirlpools of history and become “first after God”, to escape from the Abyss of Eternity!
