"Dark Terror is part adventure and part history, with just a touch of romance. It's a fast-moving, gripping take on a little-explored side of the [First World] war effort." CBR
In June 1915, young Alex Shorecross is trapped by a cave-in at a copper mine in Newfoundland. Facing possible death for a mere 13 cents an hour, Alec swears that if he survives he will find a different direction in his life. Unfortunately, options are limited and he is swept up in the naive enthusiasm for the possibilities of adventure in the First World War. In an ironic twist, his mining background lands him in a tunnelling company, working deep below the fighting in France. As his comrades push tunnels out beneath the enemy trenches and pack underground rooms full of explosives, it is Alec's job to listen for enemy activity that might bury them all forever under the Flanders' battlefields.
"Wilson ably evokes the claustrophobic, dark terror of the underground wand the coming of age of young men amid the battles…A fascinating war tale that will have…readers digging in for a captivating read." Kirkus Review
