1943. The closing stages of the titanic struggle between Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia at The Battle of Stalingrad.
Pavel, a young, motorcycle despatch rider, searches for Major Nikolai Solov, an experienced officer skilled in the art of partisan warfare.
A letter from military HQ orders Solov to report to Moscow. He is understandably apprehensive as he has fallen foul of higher authority before and his father was one of a million or so to die in a labour camp during the murderous purges of the 1930s having stayed loyal to Leon Trotsky.
Solov, a veteran of many wars, made his name in 1941 by organising and fighting with the partisans behind enemy lines.
His superiors in Moscow now have a new assignment for him: to open a mini-Second Front involving British Commandos.
'An epic and powerful novel about war. And a timely reminder that cynicism and deception are nothing new' - Mark Piggott, author of Fire Horses
'Fast-paced, unpretentious and exciting. Reads like a Tarantino Pulp Fiction of the Eastern Front' - Lee Garratt, author of Where the Skylark Sings
'Belonging isn't a place or a flag, but the people we stand beside. Chris Robinson shows us real unity' - Martin Mellett, author of The North Star
'Major Nikolai Solov seems to have jumped out of the pages of a Graham Greene or John le Carré novel' - David Stephens, author of The Disappeared
