About this audiobook
January 1829: Cuts in the army mean that Matthew Hervey's Dragoons are to be reduced to a single squadron. With his long-term plans in disarray, Hervey undertakes a six-month assignment as an observer with the Russian army. Soon Hervey and his faithful groom, Private Johnson, are sailing north to St Petersburg, and on to the Eastern Balkans, seat of the ferocious war between Russia and the Ottoman Empire. For Hervey, the stakes have never been higher - or more personal.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5After the feast, the reckoning. I had been fortunate enough to read three or four exceptionally good books in a row and then I stumbled upon this one which brought the lucky streak to an abrupt end. To be fair, this novel is the eleventh in a sequence and i haven't read any of its predecessors, so I acknowledge that I may not be particularly qualified to judge this instalment. Sadly, based upon my experience with this episode i doubt whether I shall be making any efforts to bring myself up to speed with the earlier volumes.
