In the warrior’s footsteps of Cornwell’s Richard Sharpe, Patrick O’Brian’s
Captain Jack Aubrey, and Tom Connery’s Markham of the Marines, so travels Will Hutchison’s hero, Ian Carlyle, the young Scottish nobleman and Guards officer. Hutchison’s portrayal of life as an officer in the Crimean War is riveting. This is a first class and extremely accurate historical portrayal of the Scots Fusilier Guards, and a terrific tale of adventure from beginning to end. - Kevin Gorman, BA (Hons), Regt'l Historian, Scots Guards-London

Meticulously researched, moves fast and furiously, providing an intriguing history of the Crimean conflict in 1854 and 1855. The combat sequences are gripping, forceful, and highly personal. The author has clearly been in harms way, himself, a time or two. Looking forward to the sequel, where Will Hutchison’s hero is drawn into the American Civil War. - Michael Vice, Historian and Curator (Ret), Gettysburg National Military Park
