KIPLING’S SOLDIER

Synopsis
The story is about a young ober-lieutenant of the Bundeswehr of Germany, Bruno Thevs, who serves in the KSK special operations forces unit.
Bruno was one year old when his father, a Soviet soldier, was killed in Afghanistan in 1986.
— In 1989 Bruno, along with relatives from the Volga Germans, was moved from the USSR to Germany for permanent residence.
— Having grown up and become a professional soldier, despite the spell of his mother, Bruno appeals to the command with a request for rotation in the special anti-terrorist unit «TASK FORCE-47» TF-47 in the German ISAF forces in Afghanistan, fighting the radical Taliban movement.
— After rigorous testing and selection, Bruno arrives at the Mazar-I-Sharif military base in Afghanistan.
He is motivated, assertive, and brusque; everything about Bruno is subordinated to a single goal — fighting the rebels and avenging his father.
— While solving anti-terrorist tasks in Afghanistan, Bruno involves his friend, Otto Grinberg, a reporter for a leading Western publication, whom Bruno released from Taliban captivity, in one of the special operations, during which Otto pays for the cynicism of the TF-47 command with his life.
