India 1819: Matthew Hervey is charged with raising a new troop, and organising transport for India – for he, his men and their horses are to set sail with immediate effect.
What Hervey and his soldiers cannot know is that in India they will face a trial for which they are woefully under prepared.
A large number of Burmese war-boats are assembled near Chittagong, and the only way to thwart their advance involves a hazardous march through the jungle.
Soon Hervey and his troop are in the midst of hot and bloody action once again…
A Call To Arms is the fourth book in Allan Mallinson’s Matthew Hervey series. His adventures continue in The Sabre’s Edge. Have you read his previous adventures A Close Run Thing, The Nizam’s Daughters and A Regimental Affair?
