Lieutenant-Colonel Matthew Hervey returns to take command of the 6th Light Dragoons in his 12th enthralling adventure.
A professional solder for thirty-five years, Allan Mallinson began
writing while still serving.
His first book was a history of four regiments of British light
dragoons, one of which he commanded. His debut novel was the
bestselling A Close Run Thing, the first in an acclaimed series
chronicling the life of a fictitious cavalry officer before and
after Waterloo (The Tigress of Mysore is the fourteenth in the
series). His The Making of the British Army was shortlisted for a
number of prizes, while 1914- Fight the Good Fight won the British
Army's 'Book of the Year' Award. Its sequel, Too Important for the
Generals, is a provocative look at leadership during the Great War,
while Fight to the Finish is a comprehensive history of the First
World War, month by month.
Allan Mallinson reviews for the Spectator and the TLS and also
writes for The Times. He lives on Salisbury Plain.
The Matthew Hervey books have a way of getting under your
skin...reveals a man who is very much of his time -and one to have
beside you when riding into action.

One for the fans, who will not be disappointed by Mallinson's
winning combination of scrupulous research and derring-do...with
the French in front and the Russians behind, Hervey's your man.
