About this listen

India, 1816.

Fresh from the field of Waterloo, Matthew Hervey is dispatched on a mission of the utmost secrecy.

Leaving behind his fiancée, Lady Henrietta Lindsey, he must journey across tempestuous seas to India, an alien, exotic and beguiling land that will test his mettle to the very limit.

For the princely state of Chintal is threatened both by intrigue from within and military might from without, and Hervey - sabre in hand - finds he is once more destined for the field of battle....

Critic reviews

"Captain Hervey of the 6th Light Dragoons and ADC to the Duke of Wellington is back in the saddle ...He is as fascinating on horseback as Jack Aubrey is on the quarterdeck." ( The Times)

If you enjoyed the Sharpe historical fiction novels, you will enjoy Mr. Mallison’s novels.
Instead of a British footsoldier, the protagonist is a British cavalry man. Other than that, the novels are very similar in style, pace, and dialogue. You really feel that you’re there and experiencing the life of the protagonist. I’ve read all of the Sharpe historical fiction novels, and I’ve been searching for something similar for years. I finally found it with Mr. Mallinson’s novels. Do yourself a favor, buy one of these books, kick off your shoes, get nice and comfortable, and enjoy some fantastic stories!

Sharps first cousin!

I enjoyed the first book in series, “A Close Run Thing”. The author should have had an editor. No pacing, plot wanders, interspersed with bible verses at every turn. It’s supposed to be a historical military fiction. Horse anatomy & breeding are significant topics of conversation when a bible reference doesn’t fit.
I found myself skipping chapters, by chapter 11, I realized it wasn’t going to improve.

Disappointing, couldn’t finish
