In the shadow of empire and the roar of distant drums, one young soldier steps into the crucible of history, seeking purpose, carrying the weight of his father's silence, and chasing meaning through the fog of war. Set during the Spanish-American and Philippine-American Wars, Big Red One, Spain and the Philippines is a powerful, character-driven novel that explores the cost of service, the complexity of patriotism, and the enduring bond between father and son. With rich historical detail and emotional depth, Rowan Drake delivers a deeply human story about choices, memory, and the battle to preserve one's soul amid the violence of history. Perfect for readers of literary war fiction, historical drama, and coming-of-age epics with heart.
Rowan is a lifelong enthusiast of American military history, with a particular focus on the men and women who have served on the front lines, rather than the armchair generals. His passion lies in understanding the experiences of those who did the actual fighting, exploring the personal stories of sacrifice, bravery, and hardship that have shaped the nation's history. From the Revolutionary War to modern-day conflicts, Rowan has spent years delving into the lives of soldiers and their contributions, always striving to honor their role in shaping America's identity. In addition to his historical interests, Rowan is the proud father of two grown children, a son and a daughter. Fatherhood has been one of his greatest joys, and though his children are now adults, the bond he shares with them remains strong. His dedication to both his family and his studies reflects a deep respect for the values of resilience, sacrifice, and commitment-both in life and in the history he reveres.
