An Honourable Man

It is 1884. In Khartoum, General Gordon stands on the roof of his fortress as the city is besieged. He has vowed to fight the Mahdi to the death. At his side is the boy he rescued from the English dockyard slums — his reluctant last ally. Approaching with the Camel Corps is a young doctor who has joined the expedition to rescue Gordon.
