Kabul - Caucasus

The year 2000. Four experienced saboteurs from Afghanistan seek to reach Germany via the Caucasus and Moscow. They have one goal - to commit a terrorist attack in Germany on a scale the world has never seen before. They intend to spend six years preparing an explosion in the Cologne stadium during one of the World Cup games. Moscow writer Balashov has never written about terrorists or war. His heroes are from the milieu of Soviet intellectuals of the eighties, lost in the Russian nineties. Suddenly he receives a lucrative offer - to write a book about the Soviet-Afghan war. And before him opens the door to the world of people new to him, and his life line crosses the path of saboteurs. The novel "Kabul - Caucasus" was finished in the summer of 2001, a few weeks before the terrorist attacks of September 11. It is neither a detective nor a thriller. In the early 2000s, critics called it an explosion novel. Then they compared it to Remarque's anti-war novels, to Forsyth's investigative books, or even to Leo Tolstoy's epic War and Peace. In fact, "Kabul-Caucasus" is the first book of the trilogy "The Age of the Suicide Bomber," a genre which, at least in Russian prose, has not yet received its name. The second part of the novel, continuing the story of the heroes of "Kabul - Caucasus", publishing house "Veche" is also preparing for the first edition.
