Windrush: Crimea

Jack Windrush, Book II

By: Malcolm Archibald

Narrated by: Bill Allender

Malta, 1854.

Jack and his disreputable 113th Foot have to resort to ungentlemanly actions to get themselves posted to Crimea. A lieutenant in British Army's worst regiment, Jack hankers for recognition to regain his true station in life.

At the Battle of the Alma, Jack is sent to General Campbell of the Highland Brigade to offer the assistance of the 113th. Having buried the dead, he meets the beautiful Helen Maxwell, but soon after receives orders to leave the country.

Facing the formidable Russian army led by the savage Major Kutozov, Jack learns that life in the front line is tough, with only the wayward Helen to alleviate the horrors of war.

You silly muffin (lol)

Poor Jack. All he wants is to get a little recognition for him and his men and the people around him make that so difficult for him. This book was fantastic, although I think I enjoyed the first book a tiny bit better. The narration was excellent again. And I am really looking forward to starting book number 3.

This book was given to me at my request (Thank you!). I am providing a voluntary and honest review.

The Unlucky 113th

I received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
I came to like the character of Jack Windrush in this second installment in the series. This book centers around the British war in the Crimea in 1854. Hard fought battle scenes and camaraderie highlight the story. I want to learn more about Jack and his adventures. The narration was good.
