Ch 35 Harry is in Russia. The Chronos club is a bit diminished there. When you're a time traveller that knows the communist revolution and World War 2 are coming, you get the hell out. But there's a contact there that's hard core Russian and is going to stick around in her home country even if it's a horrible nightmare. She tells Harry to go to a professor and blackmail him.
ch 36: Harry's attempt at blackmail was a mixed success. The guy he's blackmailing says to come over to his office. But there's something off in his voice and Harry's pretty sure he's getting set up. So he says he's too far away from that office and to meet him at a subway station. When he gets to the subway he sees people he thinks are government stooges. So he causes a distraction and is able to get a couple seconds with the blackmailee who tells him where he thinks the bad guy is. So Harry ditches his old ID and he's now got an ID saying he's a guy from finland.
ch 37-42: Harry somehow gets it in his head that Vitali Karpenko is the source of the trouble. Then he gets the idea that Vitali is at Pietrok - 112. I think he shoots a guy. There's train travel and a story about a time he died of drugs and picked oranges in Isreal and other such shenhannegans. He makes it to Pietrok 0 112 and impersonates a Russian Captain and BS's his way to the commander at Pietrok-112 and tell shim to call Vitali Karpenko.
ch 43: Harry and the Commander have a fun conversation and Vitali shows up. Seems like it's someone Harry knows as they say "fancy seeing you here."
ch 44: Guessing Vitali is Vincent Rankis as this chapter is a flashback to a time when he and Vincent went on a boat ride with a couple undergrads.
ch 45: It is Vincent. He tells everyone else to leave the room and he and Harry have a chat.
ch 46: Harry goes to visit his biological father as he's dying. He's a horrible man.
ch 47:Vincent shows Harry the big scary thing hes building. He says it's a quantum mirror.
ch 48:Vincent and Harry eat chicken and debate the claptrapness of a quantum mirror.
ch 49:Harry spends some time in a jail cell and decides he'll help Vincent.
ch 50: Harry once met a guy named Fidel in Afghanastan who goes life after life fighting in wars. In the lives where he doesn't die in war he ends up dying of lung cancer at the age of 77. His most interesting death is being killed by a kid with a piece of banboo in the vietnam war.
ch 51: Harry tells Vincent about the message saying the world is ending and he thinks it might be because of what they're doing. Vincent is dismissive of this. Harry needs a vacation, so he goes to Leningrad. He goes to where the chronus club used to be and there's just a WW2 memorial there now.
ch 52: Harry confronts Vincent about the Chronus club and Vincent admits that he destroyed their office in Leningrad. There's a lot of back and forth about the long term affects of what they're doing here. Harry decides he must make his escape
ch 53:Once when he was buisnesmanning in argentina he was kidnapped by people that demanded a 300k randsom from his company. The comapny would have happily paid it, but Harry didn't feel like waiting around. So he killed one of the guards and stole his gun and shot a bunch of other guards. The kidnappers decide to cut and run.
ch 54: Harry decides to make his escape on foot through the Russian Wilderness. But first he needs a gun so he can kill himself if need be. He makes his way to the armory, knocks out he guard there, but doesn't find any keys. He picks the lock to find that Vincent is already inside waiting for him.
ch 55: Harry wakes up in a padded room strapped to a chair. They chitchat about their options. Vincent says he needs Harry to tell him when and where he was born. He says he would never forever kill him, but he needs this information so that he could so that Harry won't tell the world Vincent's plans. Harry's first thought is that Vincent must have help from at least one other older multi-lifer. Harry's pretty dedicated to not telling him.
ch 56: Harry is being tortured. He convinces a seargent to give him poison. After two and a half days Harry is now dying. Vincent then has his brain shocked super bad in the hopes it makes him forget this life so Harry will not interfere in the next.
ch 57: Harry talks about a time he was involved in a forgettening. The goal is to forget your past lives so you can have a fresh start. This is accomplished with a combination of chemicals and electric shock. The goal is to have the person with total amnesia right before they die. The earliest one of these Harry is aware of is in 1870.
ch 58: The forgettening doesn't work. Harry knows who he is. He's suddenly trying to come up with different ideas as to what he could do to fake amnesia. ln the end none of his ideas really matter because his body is not really able to function anymore and in the end Vincent tells a guard to shoot him.
ch 59: Harry is reborn and at the age of 6 tries to contact the chronus club and finds he is unable to do so. This is very disconcerting. Vincent must have a vast group of other life loopers that are part of his conspiracy to have accomplished this.
ch 60: Harry slinks back home with his tail between his legs. He plays the good boy unitl 15, when he makes his way to London to do some more investigating. He only finds evidence of a few chronus clubs around the world. The one in London shutdown in 1909. This makes Harry feel not too bad cause this means whoever Vincent is working with has only been able to do enough damage to undo one generation's worth of work. He's gonna go to Vienna.
