To the Death

A new novel by the bestselling author of “To Survive” and “To Stand Firm.” Our contemporary in a post-apocalyptic future. Life continues even on the ruins of a world burned in an atomic fire. Thirty years have passed since the 2012 nuclear war and the coming of the Great Darkness. All of Central Russia has turned into a radioactive wasteland. On the monstrous ash remains that used to be Moscow, dosimeters still run off the charts—but at the southern borders, untouched by nuclear bombardments, the Terek Front holds the line. After repelling another invasion of mountaineers from the Caucasus and the Turks, our troops go on the offensive, but a shortage of what’s needed for final victory remains; most of all, they desperately lack modern weapons and means of communication. You can obtain everything only in the north, among the radioactive wreckage of destroyed industrial centers.

Which means Russian special forces will have to carry out a deadly raid into the infected territory, deep into forbidden lands. The scouts are excellently trained and equipped. They are ready to win—or die. They still don’t know that they’ve been issued a ticket for a one-way trip only.
