What stands out are Jackson's superb battle scenes. I lost myself in the riveting depictions of combat, hoping against hope that somehow the British would prevail... I was gripped from start to finish -- Ben Kane, author of The Forgotten Legion

A master of his discipline rightly hailed as one of the best historical novelists writing today * Daily Express *
