"In the fall of 1994, 21-year-old Elena Nikitina disappeared. Drugged and kidnapped by a group of Islamic terrorists, she was driven through the night. Kept prisoner in a tiny room, she waited while the gang tried to ransom her back to her mother. But a few weeks after the abduction, civil war broke out. Life became very cheap, very quickly, and the land became an apocalyptic killing zone. All contact was cut off. There was no electricity. There was no telephone service. There could be no negotiations for Elena's release. Elena was one lost soul, powerless, and at the mercy of hardened criminals who now fancied themselves patriotic freedom fighters. And she was their enemy - the face of the invader. Through eight horrifying months of captivity, trapped in a land where countless people were dying every day, Elena fought desperately to stay alive, stay sane, and not lose the one thing that kept her going - hope." -- Page 4 of cover.
