About this ebook
World War I, 1915, Jonathan Blackwood fights from the sea, supported by the Royal Navy in the battlefields of the Dardanelles and Gallipoli, watching the slaughter mounting around him, helpless to save either himself or his men. The days of the scarlet-coated marines of his forefathers are gone, giving way to a new warfare of grim trenches and ruthlessly efficient machine-guns.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5"The Horizon" by Douglas Reeman The third book in the Blackwood - Royal Marines saga, takes Jonathan Blackwood into WW1 (1914-1918). It's really two novellas in one book. The first, the Gallipoli campaign offers a horrifying initiation into war and the second half concerns the Naval Division in Flanders and trench warfare.Fairly standard war story which I enjoyed reading. The interesting part was referring to the top edge of the trenches as the horizon. Which sets up all the romantic illusions of adventure and travel as in ,"..What's over the next horizon.."Only in this case it's not adventure or riches, only death and mayhem.
