This was not a bad story with a very light tinge of the supernatural and had it's moments. It follow the life of two soldier who are conscripted into a war they want nothing to do with on the Russian front fighting the Germans. Joseph is forced away from his beloved wife, Maria and will do anything it takes to get back to her. Vladimir is a brutish man who likes killing. Because both have their reasons for the killing, they become very good at it and are often sent to do jobs that most men would not or could not. They will kill anything and anyone; children, women, the old and the infirm are not immune to the violence these two men will bring on them. Finally given one last mission Joseph accepts knowing he will soon be reunited with his beloved wife and has every intention of doing what ever it takes to complete the mission. Vlad loves the killing and is looking forward to it. But the mission is to go deep into German held territory to take out one man that is deemed important to ending the war or at least hasting it's end. It's a suicide mission and the Commander knows this but he has his orders as do Joseph and Vlad. The outcome will surprise most but then maybe it shouldn't. It is a very good read for the first time author. If he decides to write again, I would most certainly look at it seriously.
