'Masterful and beautifully written. Riveting and compellingly authentic. Grips you like a vice from the first page and never lets you go' Damien Lewis Two men are on the run. They have four hundred miles to go across hostile territory. Soldiers on the ground track them day and night, a helicopter circles above, life becomes a second-by-second fight for survival. Each muscle movement, drop of sweat, glance and instinct matters. Every second counts. Through long slogs across country, risky raids for supplies, moments of sheer panic, and under the intense pressure to survive, an unbreakable bond between two men is forged. This stunningly written, adrenaline-pumping novel is a little-known classic of its genre. SHORTLISTED FOR THE FIRST EVER BOOKER PRIZE IN 1969 England's prose has the tough, spare elegance of steel scaffolding... a brilliant achievement The Times

After plodding through Balzac's discourse on the terrain of the Loire Valley, I thought I would change things up and tackle a book in which...the landscape factors heavily. 🤣 Stylistically, the two couldn't be more different, though. This one is pure kinesthetics, spare and propulsive. Two prisoners of war make a break from their captors, and we spend time ping-ponging between their POVs as they strategize how to evade recapture.

The_Penniless_Author @RaeLovesToRead We can't afford a trip anywhere at the moment. Need to be careful with the money, unfortunately, in case disaster strikes. 2w
