Outlook

Available for over a year

Former British Army captain Harry Parker lost both his legs when he stepped on a bomb in Afghanistan. Seven years later, he has written his first novel, Anatomy of a Soldier, about a fictitious captain who goes through the very same thing. What is unusual about the novel is that it is narrated by the objects of war.
