A searing début novel that reads like a British Matterhorn
'A wonderfully achieved, enthralling and moving novel of war. Its authenticity is as telling as it is terrifying' WILLIAM BOYD
****
With the long war in Afghanistan at its savage peak, Tom Chamberlain is despatched from home with his men in the dead of night, a blood tribute leaving the country without fanfare. Ahead of him and the soldiers of C Squadron, King's Dragoons lies a nightmarish land of heat, hardship and terrifying enemies both seen and unseen.
As the bonds between Tom and his comrades in arms grow stronger, home and the loved ones left behind seem ever more remote, dislocated from the surreal violence and exhilaration of the war.
And it's soon clear that none of the men will be returning from the fighting unchanged . . .
Drawing on the author's own first-hand experience of combat, Rain is a searingly powerful novel in the bestselling tradition of The Thin Red Line and Matterhorn, which is at once a forceful tribute to the men and women who have served and the most devastating, affecting book to have yet come out of the British experience in Afghanistan.
