About this audiobook
A fleeing mercenary climbs a drainpipe into a young woman's bedroom, carrying chocolates instead of ammunition and shattering her romantic delusions of war. This biting satire exposes the absurdity of military glory, replacing heroic posturing with the pragmatic reality of survival and love.
