Can't Catch Camillo
Camillo Ricchiardi can’t help treating foreign wars like swashbuckling adventures. If Winston Churchill wasn’t in chains, the young reporter may have penned a scathing article about his captor’s reckless sojourn with the Boers: underdog farmer-warriors fighting for their independence on African soil. Camillo, an Italian military maverick, seems unfettered in his ego-driven journey to become a household name—wreaking havoc behind enemy lines in what’s fast becoming Britain’s most embarrassing conflict of the nineteenth century. But Camillo’s luck can’t last forever. Britain is rewriting the rules of traditional warfare, and the Boers are becoming desperate to maintain their advantage. When tasked to assemble an elite legion of Italians skilled in bridge bombing and guerrilla tactics, Camillo puts his best hand forward. He only serves his bulletin-perusing audience—those seeking the weekly wish fulfilment they won’t forget in three lifetimes. Camillo must quell mutinies, bounty hunts and romantic desires in his thrilling quest to discover his physical and mental limits—at his persistent and ever-nearing peril.
Camillo's Catalyst
Camillo Ricchiardi is a military maverick with a mammoth ego. After spending more than half of the 1890s in various wars across Asia, Camillo returns to Alba in northern Italy–the town of his birth–to pay respects at his parents' grave. His estranged sister, Ottavia, has also arrived in town with her two restless sons. As the brother and sister try to catch up on what they've missed in each other's lives, an unexpected foe from Camillo's past shows up–his grudgeful former friend, Bernardo Tomaselli. Camillo doesn't want to cause any trouble. After all, his reputation for gratuitous violence at war precedes him. But unresolved business from years ago pulls him deeper into a conflict as dire in reality as it is in his own mind. With his eager gaze set on the looming war clouds over the Boer republics in southern Africa, Camillo's chance to leave his quaint Italian hometown without a fight becomes less likely by the minute.
