À propos de cet e-book

Blackmailed into stealing a priceless set of jewels, Regency buck Nick Dashwood turns highwayman. When one of his accomplices betrays him, however, he is forced to choose between the gallows or enlisting the Royal York Rangers, a penal battalion bound for the fever isles of the West Indies.

Dreaming of romancing a society heiress in the newly independent United States, Dashwood pretends to be a model soldier, while secretly plotting to desert at the first opportunity.

When the British Army invades Martinique, however, the treachery of a comrade threatens the success of the whole campaign.

Dashwood must choose between following his dreams or leading a handful of rogues, rebels and renegades on an impossible mission against impossible odds.

But where valour, honour and loyalty are of no avail, deception, skulduggery and a little dirty fighting may yet win the day in this tale of high adventure in the Napoleonic Wars.

À propos de l'auteur

Born in London a very long time ago, Jonathan Lunn claims to have literary antecedents, being descended from the man who introduced Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to the Reichenbach Falls. To relax he goes for long strolls in the British countryside, an activity which over the years has resulted in him getting lost (multiple times), breaking a rib, failing to overcome his fear of heights atop dizzying precipices, fleeing herds of stampeding cattle, providing a feast for blood-sucking parasites, being shot at by hooligans with air-rifles, and finding himself trapped by rising floodwaters. He lives in Bristol where he writes full time.
