Empire V: The Prince of Hamlet
Victor Pelevin
Formats & Editions
Roman thought he'd found the perfect opportunity to rebel. He may have been wrong.
He awakens strapped to a set of parallel bars in a richly appointed sitting room, and begins a conversation with a masked man which will change his life. His world has been a facade - one which the mysterious Brahma is about to tear away.

And not only are these cults difficult to join - it turns out they may be impossible to leave . . .
