| Publisher Description: Ukraine, 1944: After the Soviets burned the Ukrainian city of Ternopyl to the ground to crush the stubborn Nazi occupiers, they rounded up every remaining Ukrainian man around for the Red Army's final push on Germany. Maurice Bury, Canadian citizen, Ukrainian resistance fighter and intelligence officer, is thrust once again into the death struggle between Hitler's Germany and Stalin's USSR. Fighting across the Baltics in the autumn of 1944 is tough and bloody. Then the Red Army enters Germany, where they're no longer liberators-they're the long-feared Communist horde, bent on destruction, rape and revenge. The Communists are determined to wipe Nazism from the face of the earth. And the soldiers want revenge for Germany's brutal invasion and occupation. Maurice has determined his only way out of this hell is to survive until Nazi Germany dies, and then move home to Canada. But to do that, he'll have to not only walk out of war, but elude Stalin's dreaded secret police. "Full of heart and indomitable spirit"-Joy Lorton "Bury being a master at his craft, the reader can visualize scenes as if watching them on film."-Elise Stokes "A very compelling read."-Frederick Brooke |
