Dead Man Walking is a new book by Micah Carlsen, who grew up on the Gower Peninsula, and has lived in Swansea for the last five years with his Jack Russell, enjoying the support of Swansea University’s creative writing department.

This poignant tale weaves the threads of memory, duty, and destiny into a narrative that captures the essence of a life lived in the shadow of war.

It follows Billy Collins from idyllic childhood, enforced evacuation, joining the Royal Engineers at the age of 18 and a dangerous career as a bomb disposal officer, to one final assignment before his retirement that takes him back to Portland Isle, Dorset, the land of his childhood.
