The four feathers

About this book

British guardsman Harry Feversham stuns his friends when, just before he is scheduled to ship off to the Sudan, he quits his regiment. In shocked retaliation for this dastardly act of cowardice, Harry is presented with four feathers: one from each of his three closest regimental friends and the fourth-and the most devastating-from his fiancée. Determined to prove his bravery-and to clear his name-Harry embarks for the Sudan. In search of service . . . and of honor.
