“A long road awaits you!” - every new book by the famous Russian writer and traveler Grigory Anisimovich Fedoseev (1899–1968) told the reader. After all, any of his books is one of the roads that he had to travel during his considerable life. Where and how he had to travel, but most often on foot. Behind are thousands of kilometers of taiga and tundra, walls of midges, dozens of mountain ranges overcome, the crash of a raft hitting a river threshold...

The basis of the novel “Death Will Wait for Me” is based on Grigory Fedoseev’s own diary entries and the memories of his comrades in the expedition Stanovoy Ridge. A special place in the novel is occupied by the bright and tragic fates of the expedition's pupil Trofim, the Evenk guide Ulukitkan, as well as the beloved dog Kuchum.
