Synopsis:The sepoys, native soldiers serving in the British army, are massing in response to a prophecy predicting the end of the reign of the British East India Company. Alexander Sheridan-- in command of a scratch cavalry force of civilian volunteers, unemployed officers and loyal Indian soldiers stands against atrocities on both sides of the conflict, judging all by their merit rather than by the color of their skin or the details of their religion. Description:`None shall escape from the vengeful swords of the True Believers' men, women, even little children, all will die!` It's 1857 in India, and Alex Sheridan, commanding a scratch cavalry force of civilian volunteers, unemployed officers and loyal Indian soldiers, knows these words are not meant for English ears.

Will they vanquish the unsuspecting British they have served for nearly a century? About the AuthorV. A.
