Pertence à sérieAlexander Sheridan (book 1)
Unfairly forced out of the army for insubordination, Alexander Sheridan leaves Britain and his former life behind to command a unit of the East India Company. Despised by the aristocratic generals of the regular army, Sheridan and his corps of volunteers must face both the rigors of combat and the treachery of men who should be allies in the heat of the deadly battles of the Crimean War.

The romance between Captain Alexander Sheridan and Emmy O’Shaughnessy was definitely a secondary story which was actually a good thing as it was a little too simple and far too sweet. What was interesting was learning about the women who followed the troops to the battlefield. Conditions were terrible and cholera brought about almost as many deaths as the actual combat. Florence Nightingale and her nurses arrived right about the time of the Charge of the Light Brigade but most doctors would not allow the nurses onto the wards. Even wives had to have the doctor’s permission in order to go onto the wards to nurse their wounded husbands.
This is the first book in a series which follows the military career of Alex Sheridan, I probably wouldn’t go out of my way to continue on with these books but I happen to have a couple more on my shelves so will be giving them another try at some point. ( )
