'Splendid...the tale is as historically stimulating as it is stirringly exciting' * Sunday Telegraph *
'What a hero! What an author! What a book! A joy for the lover of adventure and military buff alike' * The Times *
We have joined for action and to see the world and that is what we get...a novel for our time, perhaps? * Spectator *
Hervey is the thinking man's Sharpe. Mallinson is the true heir to Patrick O'Brian * Daily Mirror *
'Mallinson's descriptions of regimental life and of the campaigns themselves ... crackle with detail and atmosphere ... Makes for an engrossing read, full of blood and valour.' * Observer *
