Description
The Last Legionnaire by Paul Fraser Collard is set against the backdrop of Europe's biggest battle. Jack Lark, the protagonist, has come a long way since his days as a gin palace pot boy. Haunted by the horrors of battle and the constant fight for survival, he longs for a life to call his own. London, 1859, has changed almost beyond recognition, leaving Jack uncertain about his place in it. A desperate moment leaves him indebted to Major John Ballard, who offers him a task that he cannot refuse. With Europe on the brink of war, Jack is drawn back into the battlefield with no choice but to accept his fate. As the stakes rise, Jack must confront his past and the demons that haunt him. Will he find a way to surrender his thrill of freedom or return home, or will the call of duty prove too strong to resist?
