Synopsis

Jack Lark, once the Scarlet Thief, is back in The Lone Warrior by Paul Fraser Collard - and he's about to march right into the bubbling centre of the Indian Mutiny. This series is perfect for fans of Conn Iggulden and Bernard Cornwell and 'evokes the horror of that era with great brio. Enthralling' (The Times)

Bombay, 1857. India is simmering with discontent, and Jack Lark, honourably discharged from the British Army, aims to take the first ship back to England. But before he leaves, he cannot resist the adventure of helping a young woman escape imprisonment in a gaming house. He promises to escort Aamira home, but they arrive in Delhi just as the Indian Mutiny explodes.

As both sides commit horrific slaughter and the siege of Delhi begins, Jack realises that despite the danger he cannot stand by and watch. At heart, he is still a soldier...

'Sharpe fans will be delighted to welcome a swashbuckling new hero to follow... Marvellous fun' Peterborough Telegraph

'A confident, rich and exciting novel that gave me all the ingredients I would want for a historical adventure of the highest order' For Winter Nights

About Paul Fraser Collard

Paul's love of military history started at an early age. A childhood spent watching films like Waterloo and Zulu whilst reading Sharpe, Flashman and the occasional Commando comic, gave him a desire to know more of the men who fought in the great wars of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries. At school, Paul was determined to become an officer in the British army and he succeeded in winning an Army Scholarship. However, Paul chose to give up his boyhood ambition and instead went into the finance industry. Paul stills works in the City, and lives with his wife and three children in Kent.

Goodreads review by Shiven

Always wanted to read an important piece of Indian history which isn't written by an Indian, for our history books, in most cases, do not showcase facts and figures but underline highly embellished concoctions of valor, brotherhood, and bravado. In that respect this one was a page turner for it give......more

Goodreads review by James

A good but brief history of the Indian Mutiny. The author presents a more balanced view of the mutiny of 1857 than many authors and uses some Urdu sources as opposed to drawing exclusively on the numerous English language accounts. More recent (and longer) books offer greater detail and one, The Last......more

Goodreads review by Muhammad

I actually read an Urdu translation of a part of this book concerning the narrative of Syed Mubarak Shah of the events of 1857 which he witnessed as the 'Kotwaal' (IG) of Dehli. It was concise and to the point.......more
