Paul Fraser Collard’s series continues with The Lone Warrior. Catch up with Jack Lark in India as the siege of Delhi gathers momentum. Fans of Bernard Cornwell and Simon Scarrow’s Britannia will delight in the fast pace and vivid storytelling of Jack’s fourth adventure.
Jack Lark, once the Scarlet Thief, has fought hard for his freedom. But will he risk it all to do the right thing?
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…
The Lone Warrior, now out in paperback, is a scintillating tale of battle and courage from the author of The Scarlet Thief.
