As we approach Armistice Day yet again you are encouraged to read BENEATH THE POPPY FIELDS by Christopher Chance and published by Strand Publishing UK.
This unique book takes a deep dive into the subterranean warfare beneath no man’s land in World War 1. It was called The Great War, the war to end all wars, what a lie! Propagandised to go and fight for King and country, millions of our finest young men were slaughtered. Their families (fathers, mothers, wives, girlfriends, children) left behind to grieve and to make do as best they could.

Andy Bungay – 5 star review – THE ASSASSINS CODE 1

Extract taken from Andy’s radio interview with Christopher Chance - see Strand's video on the blog page dated 12-12-2023

All of the people in this book are living on a knife edge all of the time. The book itself treads a very deft line because Chris introduces us to this world more candidly, than many other authors I think most people could name, from the inside, without breaching anybody’s confidentiality or safety - or indeed the wider geopolitical questions - but there’s still smoking guns. There’s a wonderful description of the main character Arrowsmith at sea when he talks about that sense of epiphanic well-being in the midst of incredible danger. Chris knows what that is - it’s an incredible intellect and presence of mind - if you’re in a jam call Chris Chance! Not only does it have the pace of a thriller, it's the pace of real life. At the start of his journey Arrowsmith encounters a sort of quasi-Masonic ritual involving Zoroastrianism in an eclectic mix of things which, as the book goes on, seems to underpin quite a lot of where people are coming from - Chris mentions this in more detail than one might expect.

Christopher ‘Arrow’ Arrowsmith joined Special Forces to see action. Unfortunately, he had picked one of the worst moments of the Twentieth Century in which to see it.
