On the Last Line of Defense

December of 1941, the southern front of the Moscow battle. The Germans break through toward ancient Yelets, trying to cut off supplies to the capital from the Kuban and the Caucasus. The front is held by divisions with 300 active bayonets and tank brigades with 12 operational tanks. But precisely here lies one of those defensive lines—known as the last one—that cannot be surrendered.

A foot soldier fighting for his love, a tanker who hates the Fritz with a vicious hatred, an artilleryman who found faith in war, and a platoon lieutenant—a hereditary soldier for whom serving the Motherland is the main goal in life… Will they have the courage and skill to stand firm against the enemy?

The novel is based on real events.
