Red Sky Over Dartmoor is almost two
books in one. Marc Bergeron is a Canadian artillery Captain with a habit of
being sent to the heart of the action. Doncha Ryan, an Irish bombardier is his
faithful 'sidekick'. Bergeron is wounded and invalided out after the Armistice,
but there is something nagging at him regarding the deaths of two officers that
he knew and liked. He manages to piece together the evidence and forms his own
plan of revenge and retribution.
A gripping
story that makes you want to keep reading; well crafted, though I think there
were one or two small holes in the plot – it was not until near the end that my
question 'where does he get his money from' was answered. Plus a couple of very
minor typos. Most of the loose ends are tied up, but one is left open for the
reader to decide what happens.
An impressive
debut novel from a man who knows his subject and whether there is a
continuation of this story or not, I look forward to subsequent stories.
