Synopsis

As Sebastian Westland journeys from childhood to the bloody proving ground of men, he loses everything by which he knows himself: his past, his innocence, finally his name. His struggle to survive a war he scarcely comprehends is rendered in the urgent, beautifully spare, memorable prose of a born storyteller.

"Certain to bring [Watkins] comparisons not only with Stephen Crane, but with Hemingway and Remarque for its parallels with his clssic All Quiet on the Western Front . . .His virtuosic first novel won't be easily forgotten." --John Blades, The Chicago Tribune

"An amazing tour-de-force . . . a pwerful book by a yourng writer of impressive imagination and talent." --Robert Masello, Newsday

"This novel would be remarkable no matter who wrote it, but as the work of a twenty-three year old American, it is an amazement." --Lee-Anne Schreiber, National Public Radio
