A new novel Shoot’em Up is about the Russian-Georgian War of 2008 by Basa Janikashvili. As the war starts, one family’s summer holiday destination becomes the frontline of the war. Husband and wife, Guram and Vera, conduct their own war. A pebble thrown by their son hits and downs a Russian fighter plane. The captured pilots are to be shot dead. However, before the death penalty is to be carried-out, the Georgians astonish the Russian pilots with their hospitality and warm reception. The boundaries between real and virtual worlds are often lost in the novel. It is up to the reader to decide whether the characters will become real participants in the conflict or players of a computer game.
