prequel to excellent Sharpe series
I can tell right away that the writer is excellent and if you like this kind of story you will be in for a treat. this is not in my interest, however, and I can't imagine why I chose to read it. It might be the great reviews and from my little time spent reading I imagine it is well deserved. for me, soldier stories is not in my interest. Hence the one star which, for this book, means I abandoned it.
Early Richard Sharpe, in India
