Vendetta
O ovoj e-knjizi
For the beleaguered German and Russian armies, the terrible winter at their heels, there is no war beyond the carnage in Stalingrad’s grim skeleton. In desperation, orders come from the very top: victory is to be determined by a duel between champion snipers Antonov the Russian and Meister the German. A duel to the death.
For the two marksmen there is now no war but the race to pin the other in their sights. Who will be the dead hero and who the living legend? Only time will tell...

O autoru
Derek Lambert was born in 1929, and served in the RAF for two and a half years, before becoming a foreign correspondent, travelling the world to exotic locations that later inspired his novels. His travels gave him first-hand knowledge of his material and it was his authentic tales of espionage that made him a household name and bestselling author. He spent the later years of his life in Spain, where he died in 2001 at the age of 71.
