About the book

The unprecedented Grand Embassy sets out from Russia to Europe. At its head is the sovereign himself, passing as a simple bombardier, Peter Mikhailov. No one recognizes the Russian tsar in him. The bombardier spends all day at the shipyards, working with an axe like an ordinary carpenter, and in the evenings drinks and carouses with girls. But the European rulers see a strong threat in Peter. And they prepare two plots at once. The Swedish king Charles XII counts on Countess Korf, who is to send a hired killer to Peter. And the French prince de Conti hires a pirate who is to destroy the Russian frigate together with the tsar. But Peter was born under a lucky star…
