The first volume in an epic trilogy spanning four generations of a great soldiering family from the author of Blunted Lance and The Iron Stallions.
Colby Goff had been born to the cavalry—it was in his blood and in his bones. He would live, fight, love, and die as a soldier whose first allegiance was to his regiment.
He was eighteen the first time he faced death. That was in 1854—at Balaclava—at what would be called the Charge of the Light Brigade. It was on that day that Colby became a man.
His love of adventure would take him from the Crimea to the Zulu Wars, from the War between the States to the bloody days of the Paris Commune, proving himself throughout as one of the finest soldiers of his time.
An absolutely electrifying thriller of war, combat and loyalty, perfect for fans of Adrian Goldsworthy, Paul Fraser Collard, and Allan Mallinson.
