D.S. Peterson’s new novel: The Forest Beyond The Front
The Forest Beyond The Front
In the brutal trenches of the First World War, sniper William Finch possesses an almost inhuman gift for killing. His background in the colonies honed his ability to kill at impossible distances, but every shot he takes chips away at his soul. As the world succumbs to mechanized slaughter, Finch must confront a new kind of fate – his own mortality. Based on real events, this historical novel explores who a man becomes when the one thing he’s good at is the one thing he can no longer bear.
Woven through the intrigue of battle and a clash of cultures, The Forest Beyond The Front is a timeless love story. Will it be enough to anchor a man who has lost his way, or will he become yet another casualty of a conflict that extends far beyond the battlefields of Europe?
