Doctor from Nowhere

We've all seen stories about parallel worlds where history has taken a somewhat different turn. In The Doctor from Nowhere, Russian army doctor Igor Ivanov finds himself in just such an alternate universe. After a fatal mine explosion, he awakens in late 1914 where World War I is raging and his home country is on the brink of destruction. Igor does what he's always done: he starts saving people's lives using scientific advancements that were inconceivable over a hundred years ago. In addition to his uncanny knowledge of futuristic medicine, he also amazes his colleagues with his combat skills-having served in twenty-first-century war zones, he knows how to handle a gun. As time goes on, Igor starts making connections and climbing the social ladder, driven by a single ambition: to change the course of world history.

After being killed in Syria and awakening in the body of a dead aristocrat, Igor has found a way to survive in this parallel world. He's lost his country, his home, and his family, but he's still got his surgical skills and his honor as an officer. It's 1916, the New World Empire is beset by enemies, and Dr. Igor Ivanov, now known as Donwar-Podlaski, is back in action!
