Sinopse

The first four books in 'Jack Windrush', a series of historical war novels by Malcolm Archibald, now available in one volume!
 
Windrush: In the midst of the Burmese War in 1852, Jack Windrush strives to make a name for himself in the despised 113th Foot, but his idealism is shattered when he experiences the true horrors of war on the fringes of the Empire. A chance encounter with a renegade British soldier forces Jack to question the very values he grew up with, and his understanding of honor and glory is challenged.
 
Windrush - Crimea: Assigned to Malta with his disreputable regiment, Jack must resort to ungentlemanly actions to be sent to the frontlines in Crimea. Amidst the brutality of war and facing formidable enemies, Jack meets the beautiful Helen Maxwell, but their happiness is short-lived as he is soon ordered to leave the country. Will Jack be able to survive the horrors of war with only Helen to alleviate them?
 
Windrush - Blood Price: In the midst of the Crimean War, Jack Windrush and his unit are tasked with a dangerous mission to Sevastopol. Amidst the chaos of battle, Jack is reunited with his former love, Helen Maxwell, but their joy is short-lived as they face the brutal Plastun Cossacks and the harsh reality of war. As casualties rise and survival becomes uncertain, Jack and his comrades must do whatever it takes to stay alive. Windrush: Blood Price is a gripping tale of love, sacrifice, and the horrors of war.
 
Windrush - Cry Havelock: In the midst of the Indian Mutiny, Captain Jack Windrush and a group of survivors from the 113th Foot must fight to stay alive. With a rebel army besieging the British, Jack leads his men to Allahabad to relieve Cawnpore and meets General Havelock. However, the war takes a personal toll on Jack as he faces new challenges on the battlefield and in his own life.
