1
It’s 1914 and the great powers of Europe are on the brink of war. In Holbeck, Leeds, the Keeton family struggles to get by on their meagre wages. The six Keeton brothers couldn’t be more different, but the outbreak of World War I puts their lives on hold and sets them on a course of destruction. Danny Keeton drags his identical twin brother Charlie off to war with the idea that this will be one great adventure. At the tender age of fourteen, he soon discovers war is no place for boys. With the sadistic Sergeant Archibald Braddock and the tender Corporal Nathan Dettmer alongside them, the only goal is to stay alive long enough to make it back home. But how many of the brothers will survive the first brutal year of the bloodiest conflict in human history? *** Remember to check out my original Made in Yorkshire series, where you can meet the offspring of many of the characters featured here.

The first brutal year of World War I has ended and now everyone understands this isn’t a war that will end by Christmas. With thousands lying dead on the fields of France and Belgium, the Keeton brothers continue to fight on. Danny discovers the painful truth of what happened to his older brother Jacob Keeton, and realises not all enemies wear the uniform of a German soldier. A brief reprieve from the war allows him to live the life of a fifteen-year-old for a fleeting moment, before the war takes a new and brutal turn. When Danny discovers the bullets of his own side can be just as deadly as those from Imperial Germany, death might be closer than he thinks. *** Other books in the War Years series: 1914 (The War Years Book 1) Remember to check out my original Made in Yorkshire series, where you can meet the offspring of many of the characters featured here.
