Preface

Dear readers, I am delighted to introduce the second volume of my book “Alternative History.” The introduction is a reminder that this is a story and I am a writer. This is just a story from the first-person point of view, my signature writing style of storytelling. During the past decades, we mainly communicated through messengers and social media and were accustomed to reading the information in a letter format. It is a common and familiar genre for everyone. I decided to keep this storytelling format so a person reading it would forget that he is reading a book and feel like he is reading a message from someone close to him instead. I developed this signature approach to writing a long time ago. I was very young, used to write diaries, and spent many nights journaling. Later, I collected all my notes and published my first book at 18. I had attempted to write books in a classical genre, but the audience of my readers, which grew and evolved through the years, preferred my original style. All my readers were drawn to the initial book’s narrative, which had a unique and recognizable voice. My signature style of writing is very personal, emotional, and sincere. Every sentence comes from a pulsation of the heart. I write as I feel, here and now. A reader feels the genuineness of the writing and relates to the story on the most profound personal level of perception. When you read my book, it steals and holds your attention. I decided to keep this approach while writing this book. I wrote several unpublished fiction and adventure stories in the classical academic style, but It is strenuous because I have to force myself to do it artificially.
This preamble reminds you that this book is a fiction story. I wrote it in such a vibrant and authentic format that a reader forgets that it is just a book, a fiction novel. Some of my readers are so captured by the realistic details of the plot that they confuse reality with fiction. They think of me as a hero of the story and perceive me as the main character of my book. They are trying to find me on social media and ask me questions or give me some comments. I want you to draw this invisible border between an author and the hero. Therefore, I have to remind you about it one more time. When you start reading this book, a second volume of “Alternative History,” remember that it is just a novel. This book is an adventure story from the first-person point of view. Aleksandr Korol is a character in the book.
