Description
The Horizon by Douglas Reeman is a gripping naval adventure that spans 150 years in the history of a great seafaring family. This third novel in the Blackwood saga is set against the backdrop of World War I, where the young marines embark for the Dardanelles and are thrust into a new kind of warfare.
The story follows Jonathan Blackwood as he faces the harsh realities of modern combat, struggling to come to terms with the changing nature of war. As he navigates the horrors of Gallipoli and Flanders, his future hangs in the balance, with the 'horizon' - the dark lip of the trench - looming ominously.
A gripping tale of survival and sacrifice, The Horizon is a page-turning narrative that explores the human cost of war. With its vivid portrayal of life on the front lines, this novel will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.
