The Brave Captains

By V.A. Stuart and Vivian Stuart

Book Overview

October 1854: Admidst brutal cannonade and flashing sabers, the Plain of Balaclava thundered to two of the most incredible military maneuvers of all time--the charge of the Heavy and Light Brigades. As the Russian cavalry prepares to launch a full-scale attack to seize Balaclava, the British find themselves in desperate straits. Dangerously outnumbered, they are hoping for reinforcements, but in the meantime they must hold their ground, calling for heroism that will test the courage of even the bravest man. Dodging bursting shells and Russian Cossacks, Hazard proves that the bluejackets fight as well on land as they do at sea.

More Hazard in the Crimea

As with "The Valiant Sailors", the second book in the series finds Hazard at battle in the Crimean Campaign. This book, as is the case with the entire series, can be difficult to find in the used bookstores. If you keep a books wanted list, make sure this series is on it and keep searching. It's well worth the effort, and will hopefully be reprinted in the near future.
