About This Book
A dark, gritty WWII adventure! Perfect for fans of David Beaty, Alan Evans, Derek Robinson and Max Hennessy. With Stalingrad burning, the Nazi blockade must be broken... Stalingrad, 1942 In the chaos, slaughter and destruction at Stalingrad, Hitler's merciless army are clinging on, determined to break the remaining Soviet resistance and achieve a prestigious victory for Germany. Bitterest of rivals, Hitler and Stalin are both equally determined to fight to the very end for control of the city. To break the deadlock the Red Army's greatest offensive is being planned to pummel the enemy into submission. But they need to secure a vital bridgehead before the main assault begins. There is only one battalion expendable and insane enough to succeed, the Gulag Rats, Punishment Battalion 333. Recruited prisoners - known to be fierce and ruthless but hated, feared and reviled - the Battalion head out into the frozen wilderness, once again led by Colonel Katukov and Major Boldin. Facing overwhelming odds, they risk life and limb to protect the Soviet regime they despise to prove themselves the heroes of the hour. THE STEPPE WOLVES is the third action-packed historical military adventure novel in the Punishment Battalion Thriller series, following the fortunes of renegade Soviet soldiers fighting in the Second World War.
