«The Age of Silver and Steel» by Denis Lukyanov
After Jean-François Champollion deciphered Egyptian hieroglyphs in 1822, the ancient gods of Egypt revealed themselves to the people. Since then, the world and history have changed. Christian and Muslim shrines are dedicated to other gods now. People stopped being afraid of death. On the contrary – now they seek it, because, after all, only there, among the golden Reed Fields, can they find eternal life and bliss.
The aging gendarme Viktor Govorukhin, the young barber Alexas Ossmiy and his resurrected lover Ana find themselves embroiled in a series of arson attacks, conspiracies and terrible discoveries. Will they be able to stop those who encroached on the sacred and survive? And who really hides behind the mask, lurks in the mirrors and calls himself by the name of Sargon of Akkad?
