Jack Steel, first introduced in Man of Honour, is a splendid
hero on a new and dangerous mission. Perfect for all fans of
Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe.
MEET JACK STEEL - GENTLEMAN, SOLDIER, HERO.
In the early eighteenth century, the British army led by John
Churchill, Duke of Marlborough, were the leaders of a wide-ranging
and very successful alliance. Jack Steel, maverick gentleman,
superb soldier, was in the middle of any fight.
Ramilles 1706. One of the great victories of the British army, a
signal battle honour for the regiments who were there. But for
Captain Steel, standing at the head of his Grenadiers, sinking into
the swampy ground, at odds with his Allied partners and receiving
contradictory orders, it was hard to see the General, Lord
Marlborough's grand stratagem.
Even after victory, Steel finds himself mired in further
difficulties. The Allies had thought that they were liberating the
Low Countries but some preferred their previous masters, the
French, who at least were Catholic, and some wanted independence
from all powers, while others of his fellow officers wanted out of
the war altogether.
Far from the battle lines he enjoys, Jack Steel is sent
undercover to discover and deal with the traitors. He needs to
identify the loyal locals who would help a few British advance
troops into the besieged city - a dangerous mission made deadly by
his identification by an old enemy of his and the brilliant
malevolence of the renegade French pirate who is in charge of
Ostende.
