Black Hand Gang by Pat Kelleher

3.0

I enjoy alternate histories, World War 1 fiction, and Lovecraft so this was right in my wheelhouse. The writing is a stark pastiche of WW1 fiction and early science fiction - to some this might seem a bit dry, but to the fan, it was an enjoyable read.

I greatly enjoyed this book. It tells the story of the 13th Pennine Fusiliers who vanish without trace from the battlefield during the World War I, in France. They find themselves on an alien planet and try to survive there.

I loved the book's style that I can qualify as retro. At times, it reminded me of Starship Troopers. I thought that the WWI era really suited the book. Some of the main characters are memorable.

I'm looking forward to the future installments.
