Distant Trumpets: A vivid and powerful adventure set in French-occupied Algeria in 1852. Veteran Egyptian/French cavalry officer Louis Abdelal joins his new regiment, the 4th Chasseurs d'Afrique, which is sent to the Saharan town of Biskra to quell a rebel uprising. The rebellion spreads to Laghouat, whose rulers, loyal to the French, are imprisoned by the rebels, so Abdelal and his comrades take part in the campaign to recapture the town. During the siege, both personal and larger conflicts are finally resolved. C.R. Coster worked as a librarian and researcher for many years. He now divides his time between Internet trading and writing. He is currently working on the sequel to Distant Trumpets, which will see Abdelal and his regiment pitted against the might of Tsarist Russia during the Crimean War.
