"What's up, man>" Joe hollered. "Something in your way?""Yeah, there's something in my way all right. I've uncovered a pile of bones.""Bones? What kind of bones?""Bones, human bones with a skull.""Oh, my God!" the workers yelled in unison as they scrambled off their paint buckets and slid down the embankment of the hole Warren was peering into,"Should we move them?" Joe asked."Well, I can't dig with them there," was all Warren could muster.Trevor picked up a long tree root and nudged the skull. It rolled over, and empty sockets stared back, vacant and weathered by time. The backhoe had cast the rest of the bones adrift in the dirt. They were a strange dirty tan color, and the hinges of the arms and legs were bulbous. He leaned down to investigate them more closely.Several hundred years and the right soil conditions for the fungus that had settled in the buried bones propagated a walking terror. Trevor was choses as the new host for that terror. What was left of the other workers' bodies was disposed of, and darkness fell.

The other understanding of limbo refers to the permanent place and state of the souls of those who have died without baptism and without mortal sin. Science and philosophy can tell us a lot about life, but when the moment of life has passed us by, what would be the biggest wish in life?

"This absorbing, well-crafted tale…is a haunting description of the tragedy and irony of war…In this vivid narrative, the awful cacophony of war comes to life…the skilled author succeeds without moralistic preaching in highlighting the harsh reality, the utter misery, and the heartbreak of war in this intricate but fascinating book." VOYASet during the Battle of Stalingrad, three participants-one Russian soldier, one German soldier and a boy caught in the middle-struggle to survive the largest battle in human history. None of them know how their fates will be intertwined as the cataclysm engulfs them."Four Steps to Death is a thoroughly anti-war novel…Wilson shows just how miserable and futile the practice of war is for those who must fight." Quill & Quire"The action-filled text flows easily from steppe to city battle scenes…Wilson takes an overlooked moment or perspective in history and makes it come alive."

New York Public Library SelectionStellar Book Award honour bookWhite pine Award honour book"A compelling, fascinating, and ultimately disturbing book that is not to be missed." East Central Regional Library , Cambridge, MNIt's August, 1914 and Jim Hay thinks war is a glorious adventure. He can barely wait for his turn to fight, but as his father marches off to battle Jim must be content to record his thoughts and dreams in his journal. Amidst the war fever, Jim's home life suddenly becomes tragically complex and, when he does at last join up, it is as much to find a refuge as it is to seek glory. What Jim discovers in the trenches of France is enough to dispel any romantic view of the war. Soon his longing for adventure is replaced by a basic need to survive, and the final tragic outcome, as Kitchener's New Army goes into battle on July 1, 1916, is one he never could have imagined."Wilson brilliantly captures the thoughts, feelings, and naivete' of a young man caught up in a conflict he does not fully understand and is ill prepared to face. The format effectively draws readers into the narrative, and characterization is solid throughout. Historical anecdotes lend even more somber realism to the story. Jim's growth as a human being, his increasing self-awareness, and, especially, his shocking fate are not soon forgotten. A compelling, fascinating, and ultimately disturbing book that is not to be missed." Robert Gray, East Central Regional Library, Cambridge, MN"Although this novel focuses on World War I, it's a timely reflection on the realities of war that presents a powerful, timeless anti-war argument…the diary form lends immediacy and intimacy to the gripping story, which Wilson has based on actual diaries kept by members of the Highland Light Infantry."

"The tension and action of the battle and the intense danger of the escape from the massacre will keep readers turning these pages."
