This is the writer's eighth book. With his next work in the novel genre, the author confirms the title “forest writer” given to him by his readers. Here, the life collisions of the forest hinterland are contradictoryly combined with the decline of morality and the high patriotism of fellow countrymen. The author convincingly emphasizes that every earthly inhabitant has his own path to Destiny: whether you are a drunkard, or a jack of all trades, an entrepreneur or a patriotic warrior who has gone through the harsh school of Afghan events. The book will take its rightful place among works that allow the reader to assess the fate of his path.
