The Sterling Papers - Volume Two

The story of Will Sterling of Her Majesty's Grenadier Guards continues with this, the second volume of his journals. We find Will reluctantly travelling with his hedonistic and despotic officer, Sebastian D'Arkley as they sail into the Black Sea and the tumult that is The Crimea just as Britain enters the violent argument brewing between Turkey and the mighty Russian Empire. As D'Arkley careers from embarrassment to disaster and back again, Will is expected to discreetly save him from himself, from Russian bullets, from the outrage of his fellow officers and from D'Arkley's own self-created reputation as a master tactician and war-hero. And all the while, he must keep under wraps the increasing list of crimes and indiscretions that are collecting in D'Arkley's past. While every volume stands on its own, it is recommended that you read them in chronological order, starting with 'The Sterling Papers - Volume One: Sterling Goes East'.
