In Brian Carter's powerful new novel, which is set in the final part of WW2,a British soldier, Private Edward Lundy,receives the tragic news of the death of his parents and sisters.As a result of the shock he deserts and travels to a faraway island in the Hebrides.
'Lundy's War.' describes the war within Lundy himself as well as the eternal war between man and nature,and above all,between man and man.On the island,which he has idealized since childhood,he becomes the hunter and the hunted, and as he lives rough and in isolation he is also on a journey of self-discovery.
Under the shadow of 'Lundy's mountain',where he has to struggle against nature and the elements as well as against his pursuers,he encounters romance in Catherine.Although on the run,he deepens his commitment to her and their relationship helps Lundy to come to terms with himself and the world around him.
Brian Carter's novel is packed with adventure of an unusual kind,and he brings pathos,humour, humanity and an eye for detail to bear on a story that ends in an unusual twist.
