On the far eastern borders of the Soviet Union, in the sunset of
Stalin's reign, soldiers are training for a war that could end all
wars, for in the atomic age man has sown the seeds of his own
destruction. Among them is Pavel Gartsev, a reservist. Orphaned,
scarred by the last great war and unlucky in love, he is an instant
victim for the apparatchiks and ambitious careerists who thrive
within the Red Army's ranks. Assigned to a search party composed of
regulars and reservists, charged with the recapture of an escaped
prisoner from a nearby gulag, Gartsev finds himself one of an
unlikely quintet of cynics, sadists and heroes, embarked on a
challenging manhunt through the Siberian taiga. But the fugitive,
capable, cunning and evidently at home in the depths of these vast
forests, proves no easy prey. As the pursuit goes on, and the
pursuers are struck by a shattering discovery, Gartsev confronts
both the worst within himself and the tantalising prospect of
another, totally different life. Translated from the French by
Geoffrey Strachan
