No Man's Land by Richard K. Morgan

Duncan is a hard man. If he were in contemporary fiction, he’d be a Jack Reacher or a Desmond Limrick.  In his world, he is a survivor of his multiverse’s World War I.  On his return from the war, he ends up as a Forester. This isn’t a man who plants saplings; this is a man who rescues people, mostly children, from the Fae. This book revolves around the rescue of Mimi, which is not a clear-cut changling situation. 

 Duncan strives to deal with the rage he has over his own childhood.  He uses that rage to fuel his searches and battles.   He seems to have a glamour that entices other hard men to follow him.  

 His paramour is a sidebar story.

 The relationship of the resurging Fae and the not-so-United Kingdom is the underlying theme of the book.

 Morgan did an excellent job crafting a noble hero fraught with faults and likeable anyway.
