It is 1758 and The Seven Years War is raging. The military might of
the British and French empires collide in a desperate bid to
control the key strategic Fortress of Louisbourg and, in turn,
Quebec and French-held North America. One man caught amidst the
bloodshed is the young grenadier, Josiah Stubb. Raised by a whore
amidst poverty and incest, Josiah seemed doomed from birth to a
life in the gutter. His attempt to leave his sordid past behind
leads him to Louisbourg, but it comes back to haunt him in the form
of a gifted officer, battling his own inner demons. As the siege
blazes towards its inevitable bloody climax, will Josiah live to
overcome the formidable obstacles that keep him chained to his
past, or will his aspirations for a better life die with him on the
brooding shores of Ile Royale?
Harry Flashman, step aside, old son. Make way for Charlie Smithers.
The time is the nineteenth century. The place, the Serengeti Plain,
where one Charlie Smithers - faithful manservant to the arrogant
bone-head, Lord Brampton (with five lines in Debrett, and a
hopeless shot to boot) - becomes separated from his master during
an unfortunate episode with an angry rhinoceros, thereby launching
Charlie on an odyssey into Deepest Darkest Africa, and subsequently
into the arms of the beautiful Loiyan...and that's where the
trouble really begins. Maasai warriors, xenophobic locals, or evil
Arab slavers, the two forbidden lovers encounter everything that
the unforgiving jungle can throw at them. "A truly engaging read
that will keep anyone's attention from the hilarious beginning
until the last word. I highly recommend this 5 star novel."
