Afghanistan, 1880. Major Jack Windrush of the 113th Foot is given a mission to convince Batoor Khan to support the new Amir. However, when a rival to the Afghan throne, Ayub Khan, appears to threaten a British garrison, Jack joins the army sent to restore order. From that point, Jack's time in Afghanistan descends into chaos.
From major battles and savage skirmishes, family feuds, an enigmatic woman and a mysterious Timuri, Jack finds that Afghanistan continues to be a dangerous place. In the tenth book in the Jack Windrush series of historical military novels, can Jack survive one of the most famous marches in Victorian military history, and finally gain promotion? The principal historical frame is Second Anglo-Afghan War. The campaign is treated as part of the wider Victorian imperial system, with logistics, political calculation and the experience of ordinary soldiers complicating the language of honour and conquest.
