Riders of the Pale Horse (2013)
“Fifty yards before the turnout, Rogue halted the trucks and waited. Once an hour, their hostess had told them, Russian-led convoys drove through, headed for villages still controlled by the enemy. Otherwise, the roads belonged to the Ossetians.

“And imported Russians to fill in the holes,”MoreLess
