**********************************************************************

India 1819: Matthew Hervey is charged with raising a new troop, and organising transport for India - for he, his men and their horses are to set sail with immediate effect.

What Hervey and his soldiers cannot know is that in India they will face a trial for which they are woefully under prepared.

A large number of Burmese war-boats are assembled near Chittagong, and the only way to thwart their advance involves a hazardous march through the jungle.

Soon Hervey and his troop are in the midst of hot and bloody action once again...

A Call To Arms is the fourth book in Allan Mallinson''s Matthew Hervey series. His adventures continue in The Sabre''s Edge. Have you read his previous adventures A Close Run Thing, The Nizam''s Daughters and A Regimental Affair?

In addition to his exceptional knowledge of history, Allan Mallinson shows his deep awareness of human feelings and failings. This is an exceptional book."

Another prime example of the unputdownable historical novel" The Times "'Oozing action, A Call to Arms is a military tale of epic proportions that will leave fans counting the days to the next adventure'" Ireland on Sunday "'With each book, Hervey himself is becoming a more complex and interesting characters...Mallinson writes of his inner questionings with subtlety and sympathy.
