EQUATIONS OF LIFE
Book ID/图书代码： 07980010B39189
English Summary/英文概要： Meet Samuil Petrovitch: a Russian emigre with a smart mouth, a dodgy heart and a dodgier past. He’s brilliant, friendless, cocky and ? even in a world where the No. 1 rule is ’don’t get involved’ ? stands out as a selfish, miserable b*****d. Petrovitch debuts in EQUATIONS OF LIFE: a fast-paced, wise-cracking, action-packed romp through the overcrowded, decaying urban jungle of a not-so-distant future, featuring ? amongst many other ingredients ? exiled yakuza, Russian gangsters, gang warfare, virtual reality and a two-metre-tall warrior-nun packing an unfeasibly large automatic pistol. YOU ARE NOW ENTERING THE LONDON METROZONE. THE TIME IS SEVEN THIRTY-FIVE IN THE MORNING, TWO DECADES AFTER ARMAGEDDON. MIND THE GAP.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 薩穆伊爾.彼特洛維奇可謂是劫後餘生。
這個巧舌如簧、能言善辯、機智過人的俄國佬不僅躲過了聖彼德堡的空襲，還平安順利地抵達了倫敦城 - 一個為數不多、尚存自由的地方。
彼特洛維奇如此大難不死的原因在於，他極富理性、且擁有自己的一套生存準則。
比如說在他的字典裏，多管閒事 = 自找麻煩。
可當一起綁架案與他不期而遇之時，彼特洛維奇竟不假思索地選擇了拔刀相助，於是電光火石間，來不及對自己說不的他就這樣救下了倫敦城內首富的愛女。
於是，救人一命 = 引火上身。
自此，彼特洛維奇的人生公式開始變得撲朔迷離起來。
俄國黑幫 + 日本黑道 + 某種被稱作新吉哈德機器的東西 = 彼特洛維奇必死無疑。
但是彼特洛維奇絕不會坐以待斃，他擁有自己的對策 - 實際上這個男人總有一套自己的對策 - 只是至於結果如何，唯有聽天由命。(ANDY)
