Description
Duty on a Lesser Front is the second adventure in the Jobert Series by Rob McLaren. Set against the backdrop of Revolutionary France's 'Terror', this novel follows Captain André Jobert and his company as they lead the French army into a foreign land for the first time, facing off against the battle-hardened forces of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire and the threat of the British Navy. In 1794, the fledgling Republic is struggling to feed its massive armies, leading to a series of military campaigns in neighbouring lands. The 24th Chasseurs à Cheval, a French light cavalry regiment, has been baptised by fire at the siege of Toulon the previous year and are now tasked with joining an infantry division campaigning in the steep and barren passes of the Maritime Alps. As Jobert's company navigates this new terrain, they will face challenges that test their skills and their resolve. With its historical setting and gripping storyline, Duty on a Lesser Front is a compelling read for fans of historical fiction.
