Just in time for the WWI centenary, I've come out with Trench Raiders, the first in a series of World War one action novels. Here's the blurb:
September 1914: The British Expeditionary Force has the Germans on the run, or so they think.
After
a month of bitter fighting, the British are battered, exhausted, and
down to half their strength, yet they’ve helped save Paris and are
pushing toward Berlin. Then the retreating Germans decide to make a
stand. Holding a steep slope beside the River Aisne, the entrenched
Germans mow down the advancing British with machine gun fire. Soon the
British dig in too, and it looks like the war might grind down into
deadly stalemate.
Searching through No-Man’s Land in the darkness,
Private Timothy Crawford of the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light
Infantry finds a chink in the German armor. But can this lowly private,
who spends as much time in the battalion guardhouse as he does on the
parade ground, convince his commanding officer to risk everything for a
chance to break through?
Trench Raiders is the first in a new
series of World War One action novels that will follow the brave men of
the British Expeditionary Force through the major battles of the First
World War a hundred years after they happened. The Battle of the Aisne
was the start of trench warfare on the Western Front, and it was there
that the British and Germans first honed their skills at a new, vicious
brand of fighting.
Trench Raiders is available at Amazon, Smashwords, and within a few days will be available at all other online outlets.
Home to author Sean McLachlan and the House Divided series of Civil War horror novels. A Fine Likeness, the first in the series, is available now. This blog is dedicated to the Trans-Mississippi Civil War and historical fiction, and occasionally veers off into adventure travel when I go somewhere interesting.
Looking for more from Sean McLachlan? He also hangs out on the Midlist Writer blog, where he talks about writing, adventure travel, caving, and everything else he gets up to. He also reproduces all the posts from Civil War Horror, so drop on by!
