Nikolai Prokudin, a veteran of the war in Afghanistan, awarded two Orders of the Red Star, medals, and a reserve major, presents the second book in the “Hot Spots” series. It continues the story, the beginning of which is truthfully and realistically described in the first book of the series - “Raid Battalion”. And again the war, again Afghanistan... And again the reading is so captivating that sometimes you forget that you are not reading a cool fictional action movie, but real stories about real people - the laughter, the blood, and the pain are real here. The author's writing is emotional and bright, the style is amazingly lively. We advise young people to read it so they know, Afghan veterans so they remember, and everyone, everyone, everyone who loves good books.
