Guns to the Far East

by V. A. Stuart

Overview

The Crimean War has ended at last, and Phillip Hazard finds himself in China, serving under the fiery Commodore Keppel. The British pull off a rousing victory against a Chinese junk fleet at Fatsham Creek, but later Hazard is dismayed to hear of the Great Mutiny in India. Worried that his two sisters are caught up in the brutal conflict, he joins British relief forces fighting to reach the besieged northern Indian towns of Cawnpore and Lucknow. Arriving in Cawnpore at last, Hazard faces a diabolical vengeance, and in Lucknow he must take on the blazing guns of the angry sepoys.

Editorial Reviews

The redoubtable Commander Hazard has won a permanent place in historical fiction and he places his author in the foremost ranks of the writers in this field.

Yorkshire Gazette and Herald

[Hazard] takes up precisely where Forester and Hornblower left off. .. and in many ways Phillip Horatio Hazard is a superior creation.

El Paso Times

Stuart tells a story so well, with such convincing detail, that Phillip Hazard may stand on the same proud deck as Horatio Hornblower.

Ships Monthly

The author's command of the smallest detail of the period is impressive. A historical novel of scholarship.
