Adventures of a Victorian Soldier

Facing court-martial for disobeying orders, Lieutenant Samuel Kingston despairs when avaricious aristocrats imprison his father for a crime born of Samuel’s clash with one of their own as a boy. The young Anglo-Irishman’s only hope of freeing both is accepting a commission assisting William Walker and his filibusters win Nicaragua’s bloody civil war.

Ireland, 1856. Samuel Kingston can’t shake his guilt over his father’s death. Blindsided when his aristocratic enemies freeze his funds and steal incriminating papers, he becomes desperate for cash. To save the family estate, he makes a bold deal with Cornelius Vanderbilt to smuggle weapons to Costa Rica and arm the foes of the filibuster, William Walker.

Ireland, 1860. Battle-weary veteran Samuel Kingston has happily settled down with his wife and children. But when he receives news that his father’s remains have been recovered in Nicaragua, he sets off to bring the body home. When vengeful filibuster, William Walker’s, martial scheme to enslave all Central America threatens everything Samuel holds dear, the Crimean War hero must leap into action once more.
