"A Son of Mars, volume 2" by Arthur Griffiths is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Herbert Larkins, a soldier who is deeply affected by family drama and the moral challenges of war, particularly during the Ashanti campaign. The narrative unfolds with themes of love, honor, and conflict, exploring Herbert’s relationships, his ambitions, and the consequences of choices made in the heat of battle. At the start of the volume, we witness the emotional turmoil of Larkins and his family following a traumatic incident involving Mimie, a young woman tied to their lives. As Herbert grapples with guilt and frustration over the actions that led to his sister's distress, he prepares for active service in Ashanti, where challenges await him, including the confrontation with his rival, Ernest Farrington. The opening chapters set a tense stage for the unfolding drama, as Herbert pushes through physical and emotional challenges, culminating in his eventual heroism during combat, which brings about significant changes to his social standing and personal identity.
