Right at the moment Nate Starbuck begins to doubt his own courage, the Faulconer Legion is spitefully stripped from him and he is given command of the Yellowlegs - a battalion of cowards, malingerers, stragglers, skulkers and convicts led by cowards and bullies. In order to restore the honour of the Special Battalion, Starbuck pits himself and his Yellowlegs against the Union army at Sharpsburg in one of the bloodiest battles of the American Civil War. But not all his enemies are northerners: among his own ranks are white demons, bad as they come, whose rifles, revolvers and resentments are aimed at Starbuck's back.

Author: John Blackburn Publisher: Jonathan Cape () ISBN-10: ISBN-13: Condition: Very Good Binding: Hardcover with dust jacket Pages: 190 Dimensions: 19.3 x 13 x 2.3 cm +++ by John Blackburn +++ A series of assassinations in London and a civil war in a backward South American republic are found to be bizarrely linked by the discovery of a parasitic micro-organism which defies the laws of biochemistry. Prominent scientist Marcus Levin and retried Intelligence boss General Kirk believe the answers lie deep in a remote jungle stronghold and their journey there is not so much a voyage into the heart of darkness as a plunge into the heart of a violent nightmare.   A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers. The group started thirty years ago with one store in the quirky suburb of Yeoville and has grown through the years to a total of five shops, plus our online sales. Bookdealers is well-known for its collectable and used books.
