"Aspriin, Robert - Myth 09 - M.Y.T.H Inc in Action" - читать интересную книгу автора (Asprin Robert)


This is indeed somethin' what had never oc-
curred to me or Nunzio, and could put a serious
crimp in our projected timetable. I mean, how
much trainin' does it take to kill people?

"That's right . . . training," the sergeant sez
with a tight-lipped smile.

"There's more to being a soldier than wearing a
