Night of Tiny Suns by Edward King
Captain Nick Russell commands a small group of soldiers. Gul Khan, once a Mujahideen warrior wants peace and revenge. Haji Mansur battles for ideals that gave birth to the Taliban. Their fates collide and they are faced with impossible choices.'That most precious of war stories: a veteran soldier’s tale from the dust and blood and brilliant greens of HelmandDeft, powerful and deeply moving, as much as an account of men at war, Edward King carries his reader along a bloody road to manhood - marked by milestones of searing grief, complex choices and terrible violence - which British soldier and Taliban fighter alike both trod as they struggled to outwit one another in Helmand’s sands.’ ANTHONY LOYD TIMES AWARD-WINNING SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT
'The realities of war and the toll on those who fight, on both sides. We’re with soldiers making dry mouthed decisions, who can still look beyond the battlefield to write a love letter to Afghanistan. Brave, remarkable and compelling' SARAH SANDS, FORMER EDITOR OF TODAY BBC RADIO 4
Edward King ( not his real name) saw active servie in Afghanistan. Night of Tiny Suns is based on those experiences and relationships. He bade farewell to the infantry and now leads a markedly different life. All royalties from this book will go to military mental health and Afghan relief charities.
'Fact is a poor storyteller. You can be more honest in fiction. It protects. It condenses and encapsulates.
