The Soldier's Gene cleverly fills a gap between factual history
books and the general historical novel. Tracing the passage of
genes for nearly 850 years through the descendants of one man, is
an interesting departure from the norm and adds an intriguing slant
to what remains a novel. The mixture of facts of the various
battles fought by the British Army during those years, and the
fictional descriptions of the experiences of the soldiers, in
battle and otherwise, has been skilfully written and little
imagination is needed to make the reader feel as if they are there
with the soldiers. The characters experience the vagaries of war on
a very personal level and recount their different tales at first
hand although not all are willing soldiers. They fight for
different reasons and differing causes both in their homelands and
foreign fields. They are not always on the winning side and some
don't come through unscathed. Some don't come through at all.
