Red Runs the Helmand

By Patrick Mercer

Kabul, Kandahar, Helmand. Afghanistan again. The filth, the fighting, the fierce enemy, the unconquerable terrain. They are all familiar…but this happened more than a century ago. Brigadier-General Anthony Morgan arrives in Kandahar to fight against a tribal uprising. He has no idea of what is about to hit him.

In addition to the culture shock and political infighting among the British soldiers,Morgan must also deal with his two sons. Both under his command, they fight for different regiments, and only one is his legitimate heir. Their bitter rivalry will end up putting all three lives in danger…
