Craven's War

Nowhere to Run

The retreat to Lisbon continues and there is nowhere left to run for Wellington’s army.

When the French find a path through the mountains to outflank the entrenched Anglo Portuguese army at Bussaco there is no choice but to continue the retreat to Lisbon. Craven and the Salford Rifles are tasked with slowing the enemy advance but soon they will have their backs to the sea. More than sixty thousand French troops descend on the Portuguese capital where the fate of British army will be decided. But even as the French columns approach, Craven receives news that an old enemy is nearby, and he must choose between seeking revenge and standing beside his men.

‘Nowhere to Run’ is the sixth novel in the ‘Craven’s War’ series, telling the exciting adventure of one rogue’s journey through the Napoleonic Wars as he tries to stay alive and make his fortune.
