Book excerpt: 1917 is drawing to a close. Two battle-hardened armies lie exhausted in the snow-covered trenches of the Ste Helene Salient. The crimson skies above them are empty. Heroes have fallen. Others are broken in spirit. An uneasy calm has descended upon this part of the Western Front. But it cannot last. Far behind the front line two formidable women are driven together, one by her search for vengeance, the other by her obsessive determination to achieve the impossible. But vengeance and obsession are dangerous companions, and when they join forces the consequences are catastrophic. Oberkanone is the second part of the Kanone trilogy. Once again Homer's epic the Iliad is transported from the windswept plains of Troy to the frozen killing fields of France. Once again the timeless tale of tragedy unfolds, a tale that speaks of man's indomitable pride and his insatiable lust for glory.
