'Addictive, propulsive, and unputdownable . . . A thunderously great read' Joe Hill, Number One New York Times bestselling author'A violent and intense grimdark tale in a dark fantasy world' Grimdark Magazine'No Man's Land delivers on every front. It's a refreshingly original action-packed rollercoaster ride of a book, set in a fascinating period of history given a unique and original twist. Duncan Silver is both a wonderful and a monstrous creation' James Oswald, Sunday Times bestselling authorThe Great War was supposed to be the war to end all wars-and maybe it would have been, had an even greater, otherworldly foe not arisen to extinguish the conflict. Overnight, as guns blazed away in France and Flanders, village after village in the quiet British countryside were swallowed by the Forest. And within the Forest lurk the Huldu - an ancient fae race, monstrous in their inhumanity, who have decided that mankind's ascendency over the world can endure no longer.Enter Duncan Silver. Scarred by the war, fueled by a rage deeper than the trenches in which he once fought, Duncan is determined to show the Huldu that the world is not theirs for the taking. Armed with a cut-down trench gun filled with iron shot and a deadly iron knife, Duncan will stop at nothing to return the children the Huldu have stolen from the arms of their families. No matter how many Huldu he may have to slaughter along the way.But when he is hired by a mother to return her four-year-old daughter, Miriam-taken by the Huldu six months past and replaced with a Changeling-all hell breaks loose. Miriam is a pawn in a much bigger game for dominance than Duncan ever expected, and several long-buried secrets from his past are about to be violently resurrected.'No Man's Land comes out of the forest swinging fists and iron fury in this triumphant face-stomping, heart-clutching, milk-curdling, hard-boiled adventure of man versus Elfland, with war veterans, changelings, maidens in distress, murderous elves, and some very horny trees all in for the rush-along ride. You'll never look at an elf the same way again' Lavie Tidhar, World Fantasy Award-winning author of Osama and Central Station'In No Man's Land, Morgan has created a disturbing world of deep forests, arcane spells, and haunted and haunting characters. It's rich and vividly imagined, so much that you can smell the dank undergrowth, taste the spilled blood . . . and feel the dread in every scene. One of my favorite books of the year, destined to be a classic' Tim Lebbon, New York Times bestselling author of Secret Lives of The Dead
