New release. The tenth installment of the “Frenzied Ensign” series, continuing the military saga set in a world where the revolution never happened, and Russia took World War I all the way to a victorious end.

An alternative history of harsh discipline in the rear and turning-point battles at the front. Fast-paced combat scenes, trench warfare tactics, and the authentic spirit of wartime. At the center of the story is Lieutenant Colonel Gurov and his battalion, who again and again are assigned the most risky sections of the front. Having knowledge of the future, Gurov tries to change history and prevent an impending disaster.

The first joint novel by Dmitry Zurkov and Igor Cherepnev, “Frenzied Ensign,” was released in 2017. Military training and a serious passion for history help the authors of the Gurov series recreate a convincing era and keep the tension high in their war stories.

Nineteen twenty-two. Four years have passed since the last volleys fell silent on the fields of the Great War. The external enemy was defeated, but inside the country, enemies have not disappeared. Those who jacked up prices for bread and grain, who shamelessly profited from army supplies— and the one who, in painful fantasies, imagines himself the Great Guide, the only one who supposedly knows where to lead the “dark, coarse, stupid working cattle” called the Russian people toward the promised bright future. That means the weapons are still too early to put away. If words don’t work—let steel and lead decide.
