From the author of Escape from Chernobyl comes another fast-paced
historical thriller about a city caught between an enemy army and
their own brutal government. Artem lives in the sleepy city of
Stalingrad, which has mostly been cut off from war with Nazi
Germany--until the summer of 1942. That July, martial law is
declared as the Nazis begin their unprecedented march toward the
city. Artem's older brother is a soldier in Stalin's Red Army, so
Artem is worried for his brother's safety once he and his family
have evacuated the city. Then the announcement comes. Stalin has
ordered that no civilians be allowed to leave Stalingrad. The city
which bears his name is an important symbol, and the Red Army
believe that the soldiers defending it will fight all the harder if
their families' lives are at stake. Artem and his new friend Yuna
are put to work shoring up the city's defenses, digging trenches
and building fortifications. Then, on August 23rd, the bombing
begins. A massive German air raid reduces most of the city to
rubble. With Stalingrad blockaded by both the Germans and their own
government, escape from the coming battle seems all but
impossible...
