"We owe you our lives, Sergeant, but you are our worst nightmare .
. ." Burma, 1852. Sergeant Arthur Bowman, a sergeant in the East
India Company, is sent on a secret mission during the Second
Anglo-Burmese War. But the expedition is foiled - his men are
captured and tortured. Throughout their ordeal, a single word
becomes Bowman's mantra, a word that will stiffen their powers of
endurance in the face of unimaginable suffering: "Survival". But
for all that, only a handful escape with their lives. Some years
later in London, battling his ghosts through a haze of alcohol and
opium, Bowman discovers a mutilated corpse in a sewer. The victim
appears to have been subjected to the same torments as Bowman
endured in the Burmese jungle. And the word "Survival" has been
daubed in blood by the body's side. Persuaded that the culprit is
one of the men who shared his captivity, Bowman resolves to hunt
him down. From the Burmese jungle to the slums of London to the
conquest of the Wild West, Antonin Varenne takes us on a thrilling
journey full of sound and unabated fury, reviving the lapsed
tradition of the great writers of boundless adventure. Sergeant
Bowman belongs to that breed of heroes who inhabit the imaginations
of Conrad, Kipling, Stevenson . . . Lost soldiers who have plunged
into the heart of darkness and will cross the globe in search of
vengeance and redemption. Translated from the French by Sam Taylor
