The author’s total book circulation exceeds 6 million copies.

1979. Soviet intelligence receives information: during naval exercises in the Pacific Ocean, Western naval forces, terrorists plan to seize a civilian vessel. Their scheme is to carry out sabotage in one of the Chinese ports, thereby pouring oil on the flames of the Sino-Vietnamese confrontation. To thwart the attack, a GRU special forces unit under the command of Major Andrey Davydov is sent to the maneuvers area. But a sudden storm throws everything off: the fighters are cast onto the only island in the vicinity. By a cruel coincidence, a ship carrying bandits—who have already taken hostages—also arrives there. Now the decisive fight with a merciless enemy will unfold on a strip of land where there is nowhere to retreat…

True heroes in real circumstances—for those who value the truth of action. Mountain passes, ambushes, and brutal clashes with bandits—this is the gunpowder atmosphere of these fast-paced action thrillers.

“War has many faces. And the one who writes about it with credible accuracy has Sergey Zverev’s face. This author knows everything about combat. It seems he himself walked these harsh paths only to tell, without embellishment, about those who stubbornly continue to tread them…” — Valeriy SHARAPOV, author of retro-detective stories
