About this Event
About the book:
Amir Beridze, a young Georgian from Tarkania, carries an ancient gift and instinctive sense of good and evil, sharpened by generations of warriors through the deadly art of Sambo.
His dream is simple yet impossible: to claim victory at the F1 world mixed martial arts championship in Las Vegas. Winning would mean more than glory. It would allow him to provide for his family, open gyms in his homeland, and use his newfound platform to spread peace beyond man-made borders. But dreams often collide with reality.
When his fiancée, Violeta, a brilliant computer scientist, vanishes under a dangerous web of conspiracies. Branded a fugitive, he flees Tarkania, guided by unlikely allies determined to see him reach Las Vegas alive. Along the way, Amir faces rebels, spies, and shadowy operatives, each with their own violent stakes in his journey. He fights for survival in the shadows where nations clash without armies, and where every step threatens to redraw the world’s blood borders.
