About the Book


A STORY OF WAR TOLD FROM THE INSIDE. 
THEY'RE IN AFGHANISTAN TOGETHER. MEN AND WOMEN FROM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES, DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS, ALL WITH RELATIONSHIPS LEFT BEHIND AND NEW ONES FORGED IN THE CRUCIBLE OF WAR. THE EVENTS OF A FEW DAYS CHANGE EVERYONE IN WAYS NO ONE COULD HAVE ANTICIPATED AS EVERYTHING SPIRALS OUT OF CONTROL. 

Captain Nick Russell is drawn to Afghanistan by his profession. Ghul Khan, once a Mujahideen warrior, is now a farmer desperate to find peace for his village. Haji Mansur battles for the ideals that gave birth to the Taliban. All three are experienced fighters with strong feelings of loyalty and honour. Their fates collide amid the brutality of war, and they are faced with impossible choices.

For readers of The Naked and the Dead by Norman Mailer; Rain, by Barney Campbell; Matterhorn by Karl Marlantes.











About the Author :

Edward King ( not his real name) saw active servie in Afghanistan. Night of Tiny Suns is based on those experiences and relationships. He bade farewell to the infantry and now leads a markedly different life. All royalties from this book will go to military mental health and Afghan relief charities.
'Fact is a poor storyteller. You can be more honest in fiction. It protects. It condenses and encapsulates.

Review :

'That most precious of war stories: a veteran soldier's tale from the dust and blood and brilliant greens of Helmand. Deft, powerful and deeply moving, as much as an account of men at war, Edward King carries his reader along a bloody road to manhood - marked by milestones of searing grief, complex choices and terrible violence - which British soldier and Taliban fighter alike both trod as they struggled to outwit one another in Helmand's sands.' 

ANTHONY LOYD TIMES AWARD-WINNING SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT

 'Captures viscerally and compassionately the indelible human core of battle— the comradeship, the pity, the violence.'
SHASHANK JOSHI, DEFENCE EDITOR, THE ECONOMIST

Raw and lyrical, and often also moving and thought-provoking, Night of the Tiny Suns goes beyond the boundaries of frontline fiction to cut to the core of the nature of war, and those it affects in irrevocably bone-deep ways.
LOVEREADING

'The realities of war and the toll on those who fight, on both sides. We're with soldiers making dry mouthed decisions, who can still look beyond the battlefield to write a love letter to Afghanistan. Brave, remarkable and compelling.' 
SARAH SANDS, FORMER EDITOR OF TODAY BBC RADIO 4
