War Against the Russians
This is the second book in the Thomas Mason trilogy.
1854. Thomas Mason has returned from India where he served in the East India Company Army throughout the First and Second Anglo-Sikh wars. He and three companions returned to England as the guard detail for the Koh-i-Nor diamond and were then offered the chance to join the Rifle Brigade with their officer Lieutenant Warren. All of them have agreed, but had to return to basic training to learn the ways of their new regiment. In India, Thomas rose to Corporal, but must now return to the bottom of the rank ladder. It remains to be seen whether their wartime experience in India will serve them well in the Regular Army in Britain. Their lives are suddenly turned exciting when Britain and France declare war on Russia and the Brigade is sent to the blood and confusion of the Crimea. Here he will see a very different war to the one he saw in India with the massive incompetence of British senior, aristocratic officers and the weakness of the army’s support system that led to massive neglect and suffering for the troops.
Sam Gundry is a 26 year old Voice Actor from Northern Derbyshire, now residing in Sheffield. Ever since listening to the BBC Lord of the Rings Radio drama as a child he has loved audiobooks, and spent many hours reading and imagining what every character sounded like in every book he read. He discovered a love for performance in his school years and went on to study Drama and Theatre Production at York St John University, graduating in 2020. Last year after a particularly boring shift at the local pub, he decided to throw himself into voice acting full time, and hasn’t looked back since. When not making voices for a living he can usually be found walking the dog, talking with friends over a game or cooking with his girlfriend.
