      Dedicated to Pr....ss

      “On a clear, still day near the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, where the domain of the

      Garden of Eden once stretched, through the transparent covers of the waves you can

      sometimes see a sea flower, a wondrous creation of nature: lacy leaves and a network of veins,

      purple, brown, pink, violet and golden tones, velvety fabric, the freshness of a living filigree

      jewel; but all this fades as soon as the curious takes the plant out of the sea and throws it on

      the sand. In the same way, the bright sun of publicity would offend your holy modesty.

      Therefore, in dedicating my work to you, | hesitate to mention your name; but thanks to this

      default, your lovely hands can bless my work, your bright forehead can bend thoughtfully over

      its pages, your eyes full of motherly love can smile at him – because you will remain in that

      depth where your beautiful life blossomed, just as how a pearl of marine flora lurks on a

      smooth and bright sandy bottom, hidden by an azure wave and accessible only to a friendly,

      modest look. | would like to place at your feet a work worthy of your spiritual charm, but if | did

      not succeed, | will hope to console myself with your innate tendency to patronize tenderness,

      nourished by kindness and love. Author".

      Synopsis

      The story begins at the end of 2022 with a summons that came to Baran Valentin Yuryevich, 55

      years old, engineer captain of the Air Force reserve, to come with things to the military

      registration and enlistment office of the Obolonsky district of Kiev. According to the

      mobilization order, the captain with a group of territorial defense servicemen is leaving for a

      military unit at the Bila Tserkva military airfield not far from Kyiv. Upon arrival at the duty

      station at this very time, the airfield is captured by Russian paratroopers, and those who arrived

      with Valentin surrender. Each of them has a conversation. Due to the work of a sniper, during

      the surrender of the territorial defense detachment, a liaison agent was killed, who was

      supposed to deliver important information to the command of the paratroopers. The lieutenant

      colonel offers Valentin cooperation with intelligence, and Valentin Baran becomes an agent.

      Returning to Kyiv, with the money he received from the lieutenant colonel, Valentin buys from

      the military commissar a deferment from mobilization for 2023. Soon, a messenger from Russia

      arrives at Valentin and passes on an encryption code and access to communication with a

      covert agent. What was Valentine's surprise that it was a girl of heavenly beauty with a

      romantic name Eva, who develops a romantic virtual romance with the head of the CIA unit, a

      colonel named Bill, who is in charge of Western arms supplies to Ukraine. Valentin and Eva, real

      name Irina Andreevna Sumskaya, have an indescribable feeling of love, which makes its own

      adjustments to their future fate, realizing that they are no longer destined to live without each

      other. Romantic and mythical events are unfolding around their love, going back to the deep

      antiquity of their relationship developing over the centuries…

      Chapter 1

      For me, this story began with an ordinary subpoena found in a mailbox, which said that Captain

      Baran Valentin Yuryevich, who lives on the street of the heroes of Azov (former Marshal

      Malinovsky Street 25, apt. 273, Kiev), must within forty eight hours to arrive at the Obolonsk

      draft office with things for military service, as a military reserve. It was a beautiful August

      evening. | had just returned home from work at Auchan Supermarket, where | worked as a

      security guard at this beautiful French food mall, when | caught sight of a subpoena in a pile of

      utility bills. | will not say that she frightened me to death or caused any uncomfortable

      sensations, at that time nothing kept me at home, since | was divorced from my wife and led a

      bachelor lifestyle. | had no friends, since all those with whom | was friends remained on the

      side of my wife, and | no longer had any desire to make new ones, while the memories of my

      former family life were still fresh. | turned the subpoena between my fingers and thought that

      the execution on my account had delivered a fair verdict in mobilizing me. | began to look at the

      printed text on a yellowed form from the storerooms of the Soviet-era military registration and

      enlistment offices. Judging by this agenda, it was not difficult to guess that the Ministry of War

      was saving money even on draft forms. The next day, quickly collecting the necessary uniforms

      of a security guard and right with things, he appeared at the employer's office. | handed over

      the form and received the calculation at the appointed time arrived at the military registration

      and enlistment office. Having waited in line, he entered the office of the military commissar and

      silently thrusting the summons to the major began to wait for what he would say. The military

      commissar turned the form of the summons in his hands, checked it with the list lying on the

      table, silently made a mark in front of my last name, then peered at me from under the red

      eyebrows with the unblinking look of deep-set eyes, asked:

      – How old are you? – his voice sounded not with irritation, not with evil, | did not understand.

      – Fifty five!

      – | see that you don’t look fifty-five, | can give you half as much, – he paused, lowering his eyes

      to the folder of my personal file in front of him, and continued, – you served in the Soviet army

      two years, after graduation, demobilized with the rank of senior lieutenant? – he asked, adding,

      – Have you already been awarded the title of captain in civilian life?

      – Yes sir! – | confirmed in a military way, and put my passport with a military ID on his table.

      – And in what specialty? – the major continued.

      – I think you know that | served as an engineer lieutenant in the Air Force. – | answered as calmly

      as possible.

      – Yes, | know, – taking my passport to the safe, – that in your personal file there is a note
