Call to Arms, A

Synopsis

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.
