About This Item
London: Bantam Press, 2003. First edition, New in dj,. Chris Collingwood. London: Bantam Press:, 2003. First edition, New in dj, 320 pp. Cover artwork by: Chris Collingwood This new novel stars Mallinson's Matthew Hervey. Hervey is a very popular character. The scene is India of the early nineteenth century. Hervey commands a troop of British cavalry. Their mission is to take a virtually impregnable fortress that has withstood all previous attacks. That's not his only problem: the successor to the Raj has been usurped, various warmongers are amassing troops, and it's uncomfortable hot. Not exactly George Macdonald Fraser. "This elegant writer, a serving cavalry officer himself, is so steeped in the history of the British cavalry, so skillful in evoking the period of Wellington and Napoleon, so sound in his knowledge of horsemanship and technical detail, that his tales are not only believable, but delightfully informative."
