In the Hell of the German Lair

Action novels about the day-to-day life of Soviet frontline intelligence—about the daily feat of people who work just a few steps from enemy positions.

The underground assigns them a guide, but on the way the unit is ambushed by the Germans, and the escort is killed. Shubin, together with his partner, continues on alone and still manages to reach the partisans. However, the newcomers aren’t trusted—they decide to test them by putting them to the test. The squad must infiltrate the nearest village and eliminate the punitive units that have entrenched there. Such operations aren’t new to Shubin, but now the price of a mistake is especially high: a matter of the utmost importance from the command of the Red Army is at stake…
