In the Company of Heroes - Softcover
Conscripted by the German Army in 1914 to fight on the Russian front, two hundred elite Czech athletes mutiny to joing the Czar's army. Their leader falls in love with the first woman invited to serve on the Imperial Treasury Board. As revolution erupts, she is ordered to hide the 'wealth of a thousand years' from Lenin, but no one tells her how.

About the Author:
Dr. Ted Hunt is a third generation Vancouverite whose grandfathers came to Canada from Britain for the Gold Rush of 1898. He earned degrees in History and Kinesiology at the University of BC, where he captained the Thunderbird rugby team, and became an honoured member of the BC Sports Hall of Fame for his days with the BC Lions, the Vancouver Burrards and the Canadian National Ski Team. At the University of Washington, he studied for an advanced degree in History and was fortunate enough to interview Alexander Kerensky, Dr. Lister Rogers and Czech President Vaclav Havel. Returning to BC with his wife Helen and daughter Shelley, Ted was a high school teacher and administrator before becoming a published author specializing in dramatized history. He has also written two books about golf: Ben Hogan s Magical Device and Ben Hogan s Short Game Simplified, both published by Skyhorse Publishing in New York.
Review:
One hell of a story! ----Sir Sean Connery, Actor
It is impossible to read _In the Company of Heroes_ without Dr. Zhivago coming to mind... Hunt's book is also a grand and sweeping tale of war, revolution, love, ambition and betrayal played out from the luxury of St. Petersburg to the great steppes and snowy wastes of Imperial Russia. An enjoyable read. ----Foreword Reviews
This is Europe's secret story. ----Vaclav Havel, President of the Czech Republic
