A Long Night of Chaos
Second book of the Kuban Trilogy
Three years after Ruslan and Tamara go to live in the West, the Soviet Union has collapsed and newly independent Ksordia-Akhtaria is falling apart as the Ksords and Akhtarians seek to detach themselves from each other.
Sergo Lionidza, Ruslan’s patron and protector during the Communist era, begs him to return home and use his popularity among all ethnic groups to halt the slide to civil war.
Ruslan agrees to work with him but is not sure how far he can trust him or what his real `agenda is. And when his peace mission falters, his enemies move in for the kill.
