Has anyone read any of this series? I've just picked up the first in the series, and I'm already hooked after only the first chapter.
For those of you who haven't heard of it (and bear in mind that I hadn't till a few hours ago) It's about a cornet in the 6th Light Dragoons, as he watches the Battle of Waterloo unfold.
I was looking for a good read that wasn't by Bernard Cornwell, and it seems like i've found one!

The Nizam's Daughter - India, 1816
A Regimental Affair - Canada, 1817
A Call To Arms - India, 1819
The Sabre's Edge - India, 1824
Rumours of War - Portugal, 1826
An Act of Courage - Badajoz, 1826

| I was looking at them in the shop the other day and thought because they are out of the napoleonic wars, surely they cannot be as good as Sharpe...could be wrong.........keep me updated! |
