No Man's World only 99p Today!
99 years ago today, the brave men of the 13th Battalion of the Pennine Fusiliers disappeared from the Western Front. Some say they were simply decimated by the brutal action of the day, but we know better...
To celebrate the glorious exploits of the men of the 13th, and their adventures as depicted in the No Man's World series, Abaddon have dropped the price of these tales of Interplanetary Tommies to only 99p (or (£2.99 if you fancy the Omnibus, which is also stuffed with extra goodies).
So throw up a salute to the men of the 13th and put your hand in your wallet on this most auspicious of occasions...
No Man’s World is out now!

99 years on
Today commemorates the 99th anniversary of the disappearance of 13th Battalion of Pennine Fusiliers.
On 1st November 1916, 900 men of the 'Broughtonthwaite Mates' went over the top at Harcourt to attack a German stronghold. They vanished into a gas cloud that cleared to reveal only what became known as the Harcourt Crater, the largest crater on the western front.
The official Government explanation was the detonation of a German mine using experimental explosives, a view generally held until 1926 when canisters of film found by a French farmer allegedly showed silent footage the battalion fighting for their lives on an apparently alien world. To this day the government denies the Lefeuvre footage as a hoax.
With the hundredth anniversary approaching, perhaps the truth behind the fate of the Pennine Fusiliers will finally be revealed.

This amazing place is probably the closest you'll get to a Chatt edifice here on Earth.

All aboard the Omnibus for No Man's World!
Never mind the Western Front, climb aboard and we'll take you to the Final Front, here on No Man's World.
You've kept the home fires burning and today sees the publication of the collected omnibus edition of No Man's World, from that fine purveyor of pulp fiction, Abaddon Books. Follow the 'Broughtonthwaite Mates' through 800 pulse-pounding petrolpunk pages collecting Black Hand Gang, The Ironclad Prophecy and The Alleyman together for the first time, along with a whole kitbag of bonus features.
No Man’s World is an unashamed pulp adventure series. It’s trenches and extraterrestrials, bayonets and
bug-eyed monsters, as a battalion of WW1 British soldiers and nurses find themselves, and a section of their front line,
transported from the Somme in 1916 to an alien world that is hostile in every respect. There,
they have to struggle to survive while trying to find a way home. Imagine Charley’s War drawn by Kevin O’Neill.
