I was asked to review this book by Lovereading.co.uk
This was an interesting slant on world war 1 and focused on two British captains. Normally we read either accounts of battalions and individual soldiers in some of the famous battles. This story was quite different
Captain. Quinn is the new intelligence officer for the 10th (Service) Battalion in France. He’s in temporary charge of the C Company manning the front line in Captain Cody’s absence. Captain Quinn style of military management is different and the man is downright arrogant. He wants Captain Cody company and sets about in a ruthless and devious way delving into Cody's private life. It is clear on Cody return to the Front that Quinn has turned things and soldiers around to his thinking he begins to distrust. But Cody is a loose cannon - it is world war 1 the story line alone is shocking but the author skilfully throws some shockers in as the reader wonders who will survive.
Well written and a different slant on the horrors of the great war
