A Modern Mercenary is a novel written by Kate Prichard and published in 1899. The story follows the life of a young woman named Eileen O'Connor who, after the death of her father, is left with no means of support. In order to make ends meet, she decides to become a mercenary and joins a group of soldiers fighting in a war in Africa. As Eileen becomes more involved in the war, she begins to question the morality of her actions and the motives of those around her. She also finds herself torn between two men, one of whom is a fellow mercenary and the other a local African leader. The novel explores themes of imperialism, gender roles, and the ethics of war. It also provides insight into the life of a mercenary and the challenges they face in trying to balance their personal beliefs with the demands of their job. Overall, A Modern Mercenary is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that offers a unique perspective on the world of mercenaries and the conflicts they become embroiled in.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
