Battle for Kandahar
(2026)(The sixth book in the Blackwood of the Empire series)
A novel by Eric Meyer and Michael G Thomas
Dust and gunfire mark the march to Kandahar.
After the disaster at Maiwand, Lieutenant William Blackwood marches with the Kabul Field Force under General Frederick Roberts on one of the most gruelling campaigns in British military history. Three hundred miles of dust, disease, and burning heat lie between them and the besieged city of Kandahar.
The land itself becomes the enemy. Dust storms choke the column, dysentery ravages the ranks, and water is more precious than ammunition. Through it all, Blackwood and the men of B Company endure, marching beside Highlanders, Gurkhas, Sikhs, and artillerymen as the vast force struggles south under a merciless sun.
But the road to Kandahar is shadowed by more than hardship. Somewhere beyond the dust and heat, Ayub Khan’s army gathers, and every mile brings Roberts’ exhausted force closer to a reckoning that may decide the fate of southern Afghanistan.
From the burning plains of the long march to the smoke and steel of battle, Battle of Kandahar, Book VI of Blackwood of the Empire, is a gripping tale of endurance, leadership, and the brutal cost of empire at the edge of the known world.
