Entertaining romp through Victorian Liverpool look at the deeds of all sorts of rogues, from highwaymen, street gangs, swindlers, pickpockets and the rascally packet rats, the hard-core seamen who manned the packet ships sailing between Liverpool and New York, and who were inclined to mutiny if sufficiently provoked. There are violent murders, occasional riots, terrorist acts and general mayhem. The text is liberally spiced with colorful Liverpudlian vernacular, making it feel like a genuine trip through the city in its hey-day as Britain's major port. Great read.… (mais)
The 113th and Jack Windrush continue to get little respect and much drudgery as Britain starts its run of ugly wars against the Russians. His continuing clandestine activities create conflict for Jack and disdain from the very proper and gentlemanly upper class that constitutes the British officer class. Lots of blood and guts but little glory in the Crimea
Good start to hopefully a fine and continuing series. Jack Windrush discovers his awkward antecedents and is enrolled in a disreputable regiment all in one day. His path to glory takes him to Burma and a steep learning curve in its jungles and swamps. Britain's empire building is at its peak and opportunities abound for a young officer.
