In the Company of Heroes
In the Company of Heroes
Ted Hunt
Conscripted by the German army in 1914 to fight on the Russian front, two hundred elite Czech athletes mutiny to join the Czar’s army. Their leader falls in love with the first woman invited to serve on the Imperial Treasury Board. As revolution erupts, she is ordered to hide the ‘wealth of a thousand years’ from Lenin, but no one tells her how.
Reviews and Testimonials:
“It is impossible to read In the Company of Heroes without Dr. Zhivago coming to mind. As with Boris Pasternak’s novel, or the classic movie from the 1960s, Hunt’s book is also a grand and sweeping tale of war, revolution, love, ambition and betrayal played out from the luxury of St. Petersburg to the great steppes and snowy wastes of Imperial Russia. Hunt’s book is no mere clone of the better-known tale; it is based on two true, fascinating, romantic and exciting stories. An njoyable read.”
—Foreword Reviews
“One hell of a story!”
—Sir Sean Connery, Actor
“This is Europe’s secret story.”
Vaclav Havel
—President of the Czech Republic
“The characters are believable and, God knows, the events covered are of terrific historical importance. The dialogue rings true, and I found that the plotting, with its swings of triumph and disaster, kept me turning the pages.”
—Douglas Gibson
