The vehicle's occupant, Commissar Danilov, hides among numerous bodies, coincidentally next to Vasily, who uses his marksmanship skills to kill all German soldiers nearby and grant them both safety. Later, a tank shell hits and incapacitates a car. Forced into a suicidal charge without a rifle, Vasily barely survives the onslaught.

The timeline then shifts to 1942, following the invasion of the Soviet Union the year before. Only the pursuit of power remains.A young Vasily Zaitsev is taught how to shoot with a hunting rifle by his grandfather, in the Ural Mountains. An environment in which liberty, nationality, and loyalty are meaningless. In doing so, he finds himself walking an impossible tightrope: Keep the man alive, but also use him as bait to uncover a traitor who has seemingly unlimited access to government secrets.Īs the attacks on Ward become increasingly dire, Rapp and Kennedy are dragged into a world where the lines between governments, multinational corporations, and the hyper-wealthy fade.
