Guardian of the Dead

Audiobook Guardian of the Dead, written by Pavel Kornev, translated by Kateřina Niklová. Read by Ondřej Rychlý, directed by Helena Rytířová. The Way of the Dead #4 Dying in virtual reality is no fun, but facing the bullets of crime bosses in real life is something else entirely. In such a desperate situation, their request for me to do them a little favour in VR doesn't seem like a bad alternative. The problem is that the games of spy agencies are governed by much harsher rules. Not being able to refuse isn't a good excuse for them – especially when you disrupt their secret operations. Still, I simply had no choice. That's why the price of freedom didn't seem excessive. All I had to do was log in, become a necromancer, shake off my pursuers, get through the elimination, and track down one specific person. Who? Why? And how was I supposed to do it? Wrong questions. I only had one: Why me? Why John Doe? PAVEL NIKOLAYEVICH KORNEV Pavel Nikolayevich Kornev was born in 1978 in Chelyabinsk, Russia, and graduated with a degree in economics.
