About this audiobook
The roar of rebellion sweeps through the ancient streets of an eastern empire, trapping foreigners in a deadly siege. Caught in the violent throes of the Boxer Rebellion, a young American finds himself thrust into the frontlines of a desperate defense. With the legation surrounded by relentless forces and time running out, an allied relief column becomes their only sliver of hope. It is a harrowing journey through hostile territory where diplomacy has failed and only gunpowder speaks.
