Cyclone from the East

A novel about wartime, about the complex fates and dangerous work of unknown heroes who entered the strike force of "Beria's special forces".

1944. After Stalingrad and the Kursk Bulge, the Germans were no longer able to advance. Understanding this, the Soviet command decides to transfer part of the divisions opposing Japan from the Far East to the western front. The Wehrmacht insists that the allies interfere with this transfer. The Japanese send a sabotage group to our territory with the task of damaging communications and destroying important objects. Major Maxim Shelestov is assigned to neutralize the enemy. He develops an unusual plan, realizing that this time he will have to sacrifice one of his comrades...

"This series is good because it conveys the correct main idea: in Lavrentiy Beria's NKVD, they knew how to trust people because he himself knew how to trust the narc. The story of Major Shelestov's group is similar to the real story of a major agent of the Abwehr, a former staff captain of the tsarist army, Nelyudov, who ended up in the Lubyanka in September 1939. Moreover, the adventures of Maxim Shelestov and his comrades described in this novel look even more plausible against the background of Nelyudov's story." - S. Kremlev
