The Gambit synopsis

'The Gambit’ is an anthology of twenty five short stories. This third anthology of mine incorporates three groups of short stories based on my imagination, experience and knowledge. As an army officer and a civil servant I've served home and abroad at the very beginning of my career. I've met with different people of various nationalities, and learned to appreciate customs, traditions and culture, which broadened my horizons and enhanced my capabilities; and enabled me to express vividly my views on three main themes: on daily life, art and my dreams.

Below you can read a short paragraph of the anthology's short stories, which serves as a glimpse of the stories the reader can read in this anthology,

But he didn't have to explain it anymore, the surprising riddle was solved by all the session participants, they didn't interrupt him though and he summed it up in one more sentence.
'So they'll supply the North Koreans with enriched uranium and the North Koreans will build their bombs.'
