About this listen
War broke his spirit. Can a young marine find healing in a world he’ll never see the same way again?
The South Atlantic Ocean, 1982. Royal Marine Fletcher Layne never expected to see combat when he enlisted, despite his father’s vehement protests. Yet when he is deployed to the tiny Falklands Islands, he figures Argentina wouldn’t dare challenge the islands’ mighty British sovereignty. But all hell breaks loose over the territorial dispute, and he’s devastated when a bullet misses him and kills a young comrade.
Returning home with a heavy heart plagued by guilt, Fletcher resents any celebration of his heroism and his parent’s disapproval. And as the traumatized survivor wrestles with two imagined voices of nagging conscience, he fears not even the gentle touch of a kind nurse will get him through to a peaceful tomorrow.
Can he gain ground over his anguish before the darkness drags him down forever?

Arnold would be proud.
A good read/listen. Good enough to stand on it's own merit regardless of the Pink Floyd references. PTSD is covered very well, the characters/demons are very real, harrowing in places. Bold, painful and very down to earth. If you enjoy PF, then definitely worth a look. If you've any experience if PTSD or mental illness in any form again definitely worth looking at.

A great representation of PTSD and consequences of war
A great and often overlooked aspect of post war although getting better, storyline was very good although some of the characters voices could have been better as took away from the overall story, recommend all the same
