A strange unyielding body that used to belong to Crown Prince George; a weird game you can’t quit until your contract expires; a world teeming with powerful and very real enemies. The game in which your reputation and faction relationship are the only things that matter.
Ruslan – a young ambitious gamer – agrees to these terms without hesitation. All that he knows is that he’s been contracted to command a space fleet in a brand new game he knows nothing about. Objective: to survive for six months. He can’t tell anyone about the swap. After having made some inevitable newb mistakes, Ruslan has to rethink his strategy, dropping traditional gaming conventions.
Very soon Ruslan starts playing the part of the Crown Prince by his own rules. He replaces his quarrelsome Great House allies with sentient insects and chameleons; he even ignores the Prince’s wife, preferring the company of a friendly droid and a young artless princess. The aristocratic Empire is in shock, scheming against Ruslan and even trying to bring him before the Royal court. Still, Ruslan can do very much what he wants as long as he does what he signed up for: lead his victorious Sector Eight Fleet to new triumphs.

The Heritage: A Jewish Historical Fiction Novel
by Jack Michonik
Genre: World Literature | Historical Fiction | Literary Fiction
FREE for a limited time
They just wanted a better life
In the wake of events in the 1900’s, thousands of Jewish families left Europe in search of a better life in the New World. Most reached the shores of the United States, but some, like Leib Edri and Chaim Lubinsky, landed in South America, “where the subtle scent of this mingling of violence, laziness, revelry and gaiety hovers in the air.”
They fought as hard as they could to get ahead in the new world
Leib and Chaim arrive in the town of Lárida, where there are hardly any Jews, and set up shop. They work hard, change their names to León and Jaime, take a leading role in the incipient Jewish community and create a new life for themselves while prospering, marrying and having children.
Will their roots and identity survive in the midst of an overwhelming foreign environment?
Surrounded by a Christian world and the culture of Latin America, the sons of the immigrants are unable to withstand the forces of assimilation that sweep them towards their disintegration as Jews.
The scope of the book goes beyond the story of the characters. Transcending the plot is the story of the birth of a Jewish community in a South American town. Lárida is “a bustling city of more than a million inhabitants” that the fact-checking reader won’t find in the map, but yet, a city whose Jewish community sprang up in much the same way as those of Caracas, Lima or Bogotá.

Snippet from the Preface, “My Opposite Epiphany”:
My whole life I’ve done everything wrong.
I am, without a doubt, the absolute last person in the world you should be listening to… about anything. But especially about accomplishing goals. I couldn’t be more of a failure if I tried.
When I say that I’ve always done everything wrong I don’t mean I’ve been a bad person, although I’ve definitely been a moody and reclusive one too much of the time, which has ruined a lot for me. But wrong in the sense that I’ve instinctually always done the opposite of what is needed to succeed.
