Publisher's summary

They won’t leave this young soldier to his grief. Now, they will suffer his wrath....

Ireland, 1856. Samuel Kingston can’t shake his guilt over his father’s death. Blindsided when his aristocratic enemies freeze his funds and steal incriminating papers, he becomes desperate for cash. To save the family estate, he makes a bold deal with Cornelius Vanderbilt to smuggle weapons to Costa Rica and arm the foes of the filibuster, William Walker.

Battling bandits and filibusters to complete his mission, Samuel despairs when his enemies strike again and take all that is dear to him. Now, he must convince the Costa Ricans to assault Walker’s forts on the river, even if he’s sailing straight into a deathtrap.

Can Kingston survive a revenge plot and betrayal to save his new family?

When Rivers Collide is the second pulse-pounding book in the Adventures of a Victorian Soldier historical adventure series.

Book one of the series has been shortlisted for the Society for Army Historical Research 2021 Prize for Military Fiction. This prestigious prize was established to encourage authors to write stories in the tradition of C. S. Forester's Death to the French, George McDonald Fraser's Flashman, and McAuslan stories with the literary merit to inspire a new generation of military history enthusiasts and scholars.

Decent story, poor narration

The story was interesting, but I can’t comment on the historical accuracy. I do know that West Virginia did not become a state until 1863. The narrator mispronounced a number of American place names and I suspect he also mispronounced some Spanish names as well. I would think that if he where going to narrate a novel, he would at least do some research on pronunciations, especially if he is reading about places and people he is not familiar with. Also, his attempt at an American accent was terrible.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
