The Heroic Garrison

General Havelock's Moveable Column?a force of barely a thousand men--has fought its way through to the heroic garrison defending the Residency in Lucknow. They must hold firm until the relieving force reaches them. Colonel Alex sheridan volunteers for a dangerous mission, but is captured. He is soon called upon to fight a much more personal war?assassination of the very man who ordered the deaths of his wife and child!
