Summary
The 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.

Critics Review
No Man’s Land comes out of the forest swinging fists and iron fury in this triumphant face-stomping, heart-clutching, milk-curdling hardboiled adventure of man vs Elfland, with war veterans, changelings, maidens in distress, murderous elves and some very horny trees all along for the rush-along ride. You’ll never look at an elf the same way again. * Lavie Tidhar, author of BY FORCE ALONE *‘Morgan has created a disturbing world of deep forests, arcane spells, and haunted and haunting characters. It’s rich and vividly imagined, so much so that you can smell the dank undergrowth, taste the spilled blood … and feel the dread in every scene. One of my favourite books of the year, destined to be a classic’ * Tim Lebbon *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 author *Richard Morgan’s No Man’s Land is a jolting, bare-knuckled cage match between history and myth - addictive, propulsive, and unputdownable. This one hits so hard it’ll rattle your teeth * Joe Hill, Number One New York Times bestselling author *
‘This addictive hardboiled fantasy from Arthur C. Clarke Award winner Morgan (Altered Carbon) takes its attitude from the disillusionment triggered by WWI… . Morgan pits the forces of ancient magic and modern warfare against each other and studs the plot with clever clues… . Readers will be hooked
* Publishers Weekly *An absorbing, brutal read perfect for fans of C. Robert Cargill … this stand-alone grimdark fantasy marks a shift from Morgan’s (Thin Air) usual works, yet retains his signature hardboiled edge and gritty intrigue. Whether writing science fiction or fantasy, Morgan creates atmospheric, lived-in worlds with flawed, complex characters * Library Journal *A violent and intense grimdark tale in a dark fantasy world * Grimdark Magazine *The Dark Defiles is best of the series. Morgan built a fascinating world, dirt and all, and populated it will heroes that were also real people. Morgan dissects the idea of hero and looks at it from every angle. Our three protagonists aren’t anti-heroes they are just flawed. While they deal with their flaws they realize that in the end heroes don’t get to live happily ever after. * Buzzy Mag *Super fluid action thriller… amped-up Chandler in space. * GUARDIAN *A hugely entertaining and smartly written book. * SFX MAGAZINE *A sheer pyrotechnic triumph: wonderfully imaginative, written in overdrive, mercilessly violent… A twisted conundrum and a hell of a ride! * CRIME TIME *About The Author
