Advance Reader Copies

The Wrath of Archie Ellis

A novel of Ypres, 1917

Captain Archie Ellis commands B Company at Ypres in 1917. His orders are overridden by a commander who is wrong. He acts outside them — and two hundred and forty-seven men die.

It's a structural retelling of the Iliad at Passchendaele — Achilles's wrath mapped onto the Western Front, the German side rendered at the same depth as the British. Spare, precise, quietly devastating. It doesn't make the slaughter meaningful. It refuses to.

I'm sending a limited number of advance reader copies ahead of the October 1 release. If you'd like to read it early — and leave an honest review when it's out — request a copy below.

One email to confirm, then I'll follow up with your copy closer to launch. Unsubscribe anytime.
