The setting for Tariq Goddard's third novel is a village in the New Forest after the Second World War. Central to the novel are the men from T Squadron, who have returned from war to find less than a hero's welcome awaiting them. This a portrait of society at the point of major change with different areas of society represented such as the new-money industrialist, the old aristocracy, the widow etc) but they never feel like stereotypes. One of the particular skills of the author is to capture the essence of a character in a few lines.. It is a story about friendship, love and why we make the choices we do in life.

The heroes of T Squadron gather at Moat's wake to drink and argue and reminisce. Moat survived four years of tank battles but a year of peace was more than he could bear - having surveyed the hauntingly beautiful scenery of the New Forest one last time, he drove his motorbike into a tree. Since the second world war ended the men have struggled to readjust to civilian life. Most are now employed at the Fox Brandy Chocolate Plant and harbour resentments towards the owner, who was building his empire and sleeping with their women while they were risking their lives. Fuelled by alcohol and a fiercely nihilistic moral code they stage a last desperate act against the town. THE MORNING RIDES BEHIND US is a raw and passionate novel of friendship, love and memory.
