cameraderie of professional soldiers come to life in award-winning author Garry
Douglas Kilworth.s new historical series starring army officer, and occasional
espionage agent, .Fancy Jack. Crossman. After the Battle of Inkerman
on November 5, 1854, the British Army in the Crimea faces the most terrible ally
of the Czar.s army.the Russian winter. With hopelessly inadequate provisions and
clothing, Sergeant Jack Crossman and his band of grumblers and stalwarts of
the 88th Connaught Rangers are billeted at Kadikoi village near Balaclava harbor,
with instructions to blow up the magazine in the Russian Star Fort. Yet Crossman.s
true task is to spy on a British general accused of corruption.and to bring about
his downfall by any means necessary. As Patrick O.Brian did for the British Navy,
Kilworth vividly portrays the friendship and the courage of old soldiers and
the brief, thrilling episodes of combat that will eventually determine the outcome
