About this listen
1878: When his family loses their home, to Jack Roberts, who has grown up hearing stories of the Crimean war and the magnificent charge of the Heavy Brigade, the choice between working in a dangerous factory or enlisting in the army and putting on the famed red uniform is an easy one. But when fighting for Queen and Country takes him far from home to defending a small mission station from overwhelming numbers, it is anything but easy and bravery and stoicism take on new meaning.

I Come From SA
Simply brilliant. I have read GH Books and follow his writings. I come from this area and the story of what happens comes a live. Cries of men are heard at night in both places. It has a different atmosphere. Great book as always and Mr Yorks performance is fantastic. Don’t change him as with all his performances brings characters to life. On with the second in the series. Please tell me there are more on the way.

great story
i enjoyed the book, but being a keen student of the zulu war, the narrator choice of every character in a Welsh accent smacks of no research, as most of the characters were english in real life.

Soldier of the Queen
What a great listen. Loved the historical aspect and also the differences between this book and the movie which I have seen at least 5 times. Having visited the South African settings this book really brought home his it was really like. At least , I hope it was. 10 out of 10.

Good story
I enjoyed this glimpse into Victorian England of a young man signing up to join the army and ending up fighting in the Zulu wars in Africa. The book is fast moving and the battle scenes frightening. Expertly narrated by Marston York, who brings the whole book alive.
