About the book: 2024 / Distant future. To end the Endless Wars, a race of Grivars was created - super fighters who defend the interests of their people in ferocious duels without weapons. Territorial claims, disputes over resources, and any political conflicts are now resolved not on battlefields, but in gladiatorial arenas. But no matter what feats the gladiator performs, no matter how much he is honored and idolized, he still remains a slave - although he may not even suspect it. Sego, a talented student of the Lyceum, where selected young grivards study the best techniques and methods of hand-to-hand combat, tries lead his team to success, but unsolved mysteries of the past catastrophically invade his fate. His girlfriend Solara, the daughter of the legendary champion, also has such a secret, and Solara goes in search of her father in a foreign country, where her martial art will undergo the most merciless test. Continuation of the famous “Code of Combat” - for the first time in Russian!
