Review:
The novel is packed with action... all in all, our hero has more lives than a cat (Crimean War Research Society)
... details the horrifying truth of the (Crimean) campaign with dash and a very keen eye for historical detail. (Western Morning News)
A rousing tale which will entertain all who enjoy historical fiction. (The War Correspondent)
The story moves along at a cracking pace. The historical detail is well researched and paints a vivid picture of a British army where supplies are scant... disease is rife and morale is low, yet there is the raw guts of men sent to do a job, regardless of the odds. (Historical Novel Society)
