About THE VERY DEAD OF WINTER

The Very Dead of Winter stands alone, but the events depicted are preceded by those in Miles Watson’s novel, “Sinner’s Cross”.

On the eve of what will be known as The Battle of the Bulge, the survivors of Sinner’s Cross are scattered all over Europe. Halleck, the tough-as-nails Texan who drives men like cattle, finds himself surrounded in the snow-blanketed forests of the Eifel Mountains riding herd on greenhorn soldiers; Breese, the phony hero with a chip on his shoulder the size of Rushmore, embarks on a bloody mission of redemption behind enemy lines; Cramm, the one-eyed, one-armed German staff officer, tries to balance duty against his lust for vengeance against the fellow officers who crippled him. Three men separated by war will once again converge…in The Very Dead of Winter.

Praise for the very dead of winter

Rating: 5 out of 5.

The Very Dead Of Winter is a complex and thought-provoking historical war fiction novel. This captivating book can unmask the stereotypical idea of what the average citizen thinks a soldier looks like.  If you are looking for a book with rich characters, an enticing story, and significant historical context, this book is for you….well worth the read and will give readers a brand new perspective. I highly recommend it.”  — Literary Titan

Rating: 5 out of 5.

“Miles Watson is an author it’s always worth reading, whatever he writes…. He captures exquisitely both the difference in the German and American perspective and the universality of their experience. The heroism and the futility of it all. The waste.
It’s not an easy book. The title says it. There is a depth of winter in all of the human experience.” Amazon Review

Rating: 5 out of 5.

I recommend this book all historical fiction lovers!” Amazon review
