About this audiobook
Swept into the violent chaos of the Boxer Rebellion, a young soldier finds himself a world away from home in a land engulfed by war. As an international coalition marches to relieve a besieged embassy, he faces unfamiliar tactics and staggering odds on foreign soil. The clash of empires forces him to confront his own morality amidst the devastation of a crumbling dynasty. Every skirmish in the ancient streets tests his courage and loyalty to his comrades. This is a dramatic plunge into a forgotten global conflict where survival hangs by a thread.
