THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR Allan Mallinson brings us
another compelling and deeply atmospheric adventure featuring
Matthew Hervey. If you like Patrick O'Brian, Bernard Cornwell and
CS Forester, you will love this! "Most impressive...Mallinson
reinforces his position as a master of narrative military history"
-- THE TIMES "As good on the details of the workings of a cavalry
regiment in 1820 as ever Patrick O'Brian was on the workings of an
1820 warship" -- SPECTATOR "What a pleasure...concentrating on the
battle of Talavera and the investment of Badajoz, both sparklingly
described, he plays to his undoubted strengths" - OBSERVER "The
atmosphere and authenticity continues to work its spell all the way
through." -- ***** Reader review "Highly enjoyable novel. Great
story. Thoroughly recommend for lovers of adventure novels." --
***** Reader review "A truly outstanding read" -- ***** Reader
review *********************************************************
Badajoz: Christmas 1826 Matthew Hervey of the 6th Light Dragoons is
a prisoner of the Spanish, incarcerated in the infamous fortress of
Badajoz. As he plans his escape, his thoughts return to the year
1812 when he was a cornet in Wellington's Peninsular Army. He and
the Sixth had survived Corunna to endure three more years of brutal
fighting that would culminate in one of the most vital and vicious
confrontations of the campaign - the siege of Badajoz. While Hervey
paces his prison cell, and re-lives the bloodshed of battles past,
friends from unexpected quarters rush to his aid... An Act of
Courage is the seventh book in Allan Mallinson's Matthew Hervey
series. His adventures continue in Company of Spears. Have you read
his previous adventures A Close Run Thing, The Nizam's Daughters, A
Regimental Affair, A Call to Arms, The Sabre's Edge and Rumours of
War?
