Hammond saw action in Kurdistan where seven men died under his command. It wasn’t his fault and his actions were exonerated at the Inquest. That didn’t stop the nightmares, every night, until he started training some new recruits. No-one WILL die in his new command. No-one CAN die in his new command. They are dead already.

Dead Brigade is a futuristic solution to the British Army’s recruitment problem. Dead soldiers are not buried with honours, but brought back to life using nanotechnology. Hammond’s job is to train and lead them in special operations from neutralising international, religious and ecological terrorists to assassinating dictators. The story is full of action and fast-paced. The novel also considers moral issues as the dead begin to show signs of life: independent thought and action. There is therefore a more macabre and chilling dimension to the story that Hammond, along with the reader, must face. It makes a compelling story that asks more questions than it answers and will appeal more to men than women.

Dead Brigade is published by Barrington Stoke, who publish books for dyslexic and struggling readers. Barrington Stoke have identified that many adults struggle to read. Dead Brigade is written specifically for adults with a reading age of 8 years old. It’s a good book to encourage struggling adult readers.
