To Serve

The Dead

He went to war to find a new life, but the past won’t let him go.

Rick dreams of taking over the family farming dynasty. When he learns a devastating secret and war comes, the Light Horse offers a way out.

During the Gallipoli campaign, he is seriously wounded and his best friend killed—and Rick is not sure it was by an enemy bullet.

Recovering in hospital in Cairo, Rick is determined to find out the truth, even if that draws the killer to him.

But all he has to go on is an ancient statue and its hieroglyphic spell—and the help of a nurse with her own agenda.

Reader's Review

From the battlefields of World War I to the ancient spells of Egypt, you won't see the ending until it rises out of the ruins!

A prequel or a sequel, I don't care which but I want to meet Rick again on another adventure.
