Despite being the most capable cavalry leader of his generation, Sir John French has always aroused controversy. Posterity has judged him an unfeeling butcher, responsible for more deaths in the first two hours of the battle of Loos than all the casualties on both sides in the 1944 D-Day landings. But French has another side, revealed in his private papers—a side filled with affairs and personal torment. An esteemed Professor of Military and Security Studies tells French’s compelling, dramatic story.

What do you do when you're 17, in a fortress surrounded by a zombie apocalypse, and your boyfriend is outside and lost? If you're Julie Rayzor, you lock and load. Praise for Julie Rayzor series: “Crisp, fast-paced action. The writing style is very impressive, usually found in male adventures, yet his heroine is a woman in love. The writer pulls off the balancing act between realistic feminine energy and highly effective tough combat; successfully blending all three genres: a war story, science fiction, and a love story. It works on all three levels. Great dialogue in this entertaining novel... Elmore Leonard type: short, character-revealing, and advancing the story conflict. And conflict is everywhere... I will not give away any secrets in the plot... I won’t tell you about the train scenes, wow, you’ll have to discover those yourself. I will say that the love story kicks in like an afterburner...” says John Hill, Author and Screenwriter of "Quigley Down Under", and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (uncredited), "LA Law" and "Quantum Leap".
