In Escape From Hell, the gripping conclusion of the Hazard series, readers are thrust into the chaos of the Indian Mutiny.

As he navigates the treacherous landscape of war, he is faced with the heart-wrenching task of rescuing survivors while contending with the ever-present dangers and betrayals that accompany military command. The emotional weight of leadership is palpable as Hazard grapples with the consequences of his decisions amidst the turmoil of conflict.
The backdrop of the Sepoy Mutiny serves as a constant reminder of the perilous situation for British lives in India. When Hazard volunteers to join a special army force aimed at rescuing the besieged British garrison at Ghorabad, he knows the risks involved.
