About the book: 2001 / Almost all armed conflicts with the Clans involved Avanti “angels” - mercenaries who were used both as independent combat units and to strengthen regular troops . In a situation where it was necessary to strike with lightning speed and disappear, they were indispensable, and no one except themselves counted the losses they suffered. Mercenary company commander Marcus Joe Avanti had seen a lot of death; his friends were good pilots of combat robots, but most often they died for a piece of foreign land, tormented and charred. However, in order to make ends meet, Avanti's "angels" accept the offer of the head of the New House.
