The novel by the prominent Ukrainian writer Yuri Shcherbak «Time of the Great Game. Phantoms of 2079" is a brilliant, sharp-edged political dystopia set in the aftermath of the Fourth Global War. The novel is centred on the dramatic fate of the protagonist, General Igor Gaiduk of the Ukrainian intelligence service. Acting during the Great Darkness and after its end, participating in a fierce political struggle, running a mortal risk, General Gaiduk makes a fateful decision.

The Time of the Great Game continues the storyline of The Time of the Deathly Hallows, where the game-like form and fantastic situations are accompanied by the real scale of possible geopolitical events of the future. The fact that Yuriy Shcherbak, as a former Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to the USA, Canada, Mexico and Israel, has a wide perspective on the issues of international relations, also adds to the works' relevance. In the trilogy, he makes generous use of secret documents that reveal the cynicism and double standards of the world's political actors and presents his paradoxical vision of what might happen to Ukraine and the world in the future.

«Time of the Great Game» — is the second novel of the trilogy «Time».
