The year is 1854. A brutal war is being fought in the Crimea war, and the stench of despair hangs heavy in the air.

Anthony Morgan is a young officer in the 95th Regiment. He is new to the battlefield and has yet to experience the bitterness of warfare. But Morgan soon realises that he is not the only one who has a lot to learn. His fellow soldiers are almost as dangerous as the enemy… With a weak Lieutenant leading them, and distraction in the form of his footman’s wife, Morgan must find a way to survive the battle with not only his sanity, but his life, still intact.

To Do And Die is a brilliantly written military adventure combining swashbuckling action with period detail.
