Part of Series
Yuri Bonyev enters the Zone once again, this time guiding Russian mobsters on a search for prime real estate inside the most heavily quarantined region on the planet. But the Zone operates by different rules than the streets of Moscow or Vladivostok, so will these newcomers respect its ways, or will they be weighed in its scales and found wanting? More important, what will Yuri have to pay for their ignorance? Patrick Todoroff is the author of the Eshu International novels, the ongoing Clar1ty Wars cyberpunk series, the Celtic ghost story 'The Barrow Lover", and numerous Mil SF shorts. He has also developed the table top war game 'Hardwired' and the upcoming 'Zona Alfa' from Osprey Publishing. "Strange Treasure" is a story for fans of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R and Metro 2033 post-apocalyptic worlds.
Author
My interest in books started when I was nine, the year my baby brother shoved a pretzel down into the back of the television set and my parents didn't bother to get it fixed. My first novel, "Running Black" was a 'put up or shut up' project during the 2008 recession. The sequel "Shift Tense" rolled out two years later. Since then, I've just kept writing. Other titles include the cyberpunk/technoir novella, 'Soul Cache', a Celtic-flavored ghost story, 'The Barrow Lover', three tales from the Exclusion Zone - 'A Prayer to Saint Strelok', 'Strange Treasure', and 'Gopnik Blues' - and a scattering of stand-alone near-future shorts. As a table top war game designer, I've written 'Zona Alfa' for Osprey Publishing, the upcoming 'When Nightmares Come', as well as several best selling indie games: 'Exploit Zero', its monster-hunting fantasy cousin, 'Nightwatch', and the alien-invasion 'Insurgent Earth.' Current projects include the post-apocalyptic fantasy 'Shattered Worlds' and a bit of dungeon crawl fiction, 'Five Torches'. I can be found online at Stalker7.com. A thousand thanks.
