" They sit in the doors of the Big Mamma Pumas, feet dangling out,
all gung ho. Sometimes you have a bad hair day in the big fat sky
come back with holes in you. "First nothing happens, on the border
between Namibia and Angola, 1983. A platoon of servicemen at a
remote outpost kill time smoking, drinking, grating each other s
nerves. Eric draws pictures from girly magazines to amuse his mates
while he observes everything around him with a distant eye. They
are mere boys, lounging in the waiting room to hell. When hell
breaks loose all bets are off, and for Eric there is no excaping
the horror of the scores he must settle.Written in hardened yet
lyrical prose electrified with heart-stopping lines, "Eric the
Brave" is an elegy on boot level that marks the arrival of a
remarkable new writer.
