This debut novel “puts readers inside the mind of a confused young soldier caught in the fog of unexpected warfare … The Farther Shore is a short, stark war novel in which the characters are both haunting and inhuman, natives and invaders alike. The emerging story reflects a new kind of military engagement, with all the attendant horrors and difficulties of fighting in a strange new postmodern battlefield.”
