Flight 317: Novellas and Stories

Under this cover are stories about steadfast women and brave men—about losses and finds, about love in all its shades.

You have in front of you selected short prose by Oleg Rudnev. In his novellas and stories, fate tests a person again and again: will they stoop to something vile or remain honest, will they choose their own benefit or put others first.

Rudnev’s characters didn’t seek fame or a role as villains, but one day they find themselves facing a decisive choice that changes everything. What should you do when someone close is balancing between life and death, when sudden betrayal pushes you into the abyss of despair, or when a plane is about to crash and you’re among the passengers?

His heroes have to find answers to these and many other questions.
