The roar of echelons derailed, bridges blown sky-high, and burning German supply convoys. Fast-paced novels about the nameless heroes of partisan warfare.

1941. In the Belarusian forests, the partisan detachment of border captain Pyotr Romanchuk is fighting the occupiers.

After establishing communications, the commander receives an order: to disable the railway junction through which the Germans are sending trains loaded with fuel. At the station, Ilya Pavlov serves as dispatcher—the fascists keep him in line by threatening to kill his daughter. According to the partisans, he is the one who knows the exact schedule of the enemy echelons and can help with the operation. But first they will have to tell him terrible news…

"War has many faces. And the face of the one who writes about it truthfully is Sergey Zverev’s. This author knows everything about combat operations. It seems he himself went through these harsh paths only to tell about them without embellishment…" – Valery Sharapov, author of retro detective novels
