Summary
In this ninth action-packed Victorian military adventure, Paul Fraser Collard's roguish hero Jack Lark - soldier, leader, impostor - crosses borders once more as he pursues a brand-new adventure in Africa.
As he journeys across the table-top mountains of Abyssinia to the fortress of Magdala, Jack quickly discovers that nowhere is safe and nobody can be trusted. Expect devious spies, brutal murders, treasure hunting and action aplenty.

Good but..
I like this series and rate the narrator..but..
While I am often mildly frustrated by Jack's petulant teenage temper making him make irrational decisions and therefore creating implausible plots, this one really stretched it too far. I would hope the Jack would become wiser with age.
The narration is very good as usual. It would however be nice if he could do some ground work and work out how to pronounce words like Boer and Kopje before reading a book peppered with the words. I am yet to find anyone that thinks they are called 'bow-ers' and 'Kopyar'. Maybe I am wrong, but still painful for me to listen to.
Still a good book.

Almost
Hard to find new adventures for a character who's already been everywhere and done everything. Maybe a prequel would have been better on that basis.
Still ,the writer is a genius and so even an implausible plot was brilliantly done and quite compelling at times.
The idea that a London criminal might have gone to Africa to pursue a vendetta in Victorian times is preposterous and the story suffers from that.
Mr Fraser Collard is never going to write a bad book though so despite all this it's well worth reading
