A dark, unsettling tale steeped in dread…
The latest in Bruce’s Broken Chronicles series is a chilling, atmospheric dive into the savage realities of World War II. Set after D-Day, the story follows John and his dwindling company as they march through the Dutch countryside during Operation Switchback. Their journey takes a dark turn when a recon patrol vanishes into the fog and returns utterly shattered by an unknown threat.
Bruce strikes the perfect balance between war fiction and horror, using the brutal setting to probe the fragility of the human mind under unimaginable strain. The men of Dog Company aren’t just soldiers: they’re shattered remnants of who they once were, facing an enemy that’s both real and something far worse. Bruce masterfully portrays the physical and mental toll of combat: the exhaustion, the impossible choices, the slow unraveling of identity. The tension remains high, and the violence is swift and unforgiving. Immersive, haunting, and deeply unsettling, the novel will stay on readers’ minds long after they turn the last page.
