Story
1878: When his family loses their home, to Jack Roberts, who has grown up hearing stories of the Crimean war and the magnificent charge of the Heavy Brigade, the choice between working in a dangerous factory or enlisting in the army and putting on the famed red uniform is an easy one. But when fighting for Queen and Country takes him far from home to defending a small mission station from overwhelming numbers, it is anything but easy and bravery and stoicism take on new meaning.

Publisher's Summary
The third of the series. Doing jobs that an officer and a gentlemen wouldn't be caught dead doing has earned Marty the rank of Lieutenant at an early age. He is young, comes from peasant stock, and is dispensable. But more than all of that, he is willing. That makes him very useful to British Security, lead by William Wickham, the spymaster of Britain, and Admiral Hood (retired), who is secretly running the Navy's dirty jobs branch, The Special Operations Flotilla.
Add to that the love of his life Lady Caroline Candor, and Marty leads an exciting, deadly, and passionate life. Treachery in the Batavian Republic leads to an undercover operation deep in French territory with unexpected results. Back home, an unexpected development sees Marty and Caroline's relationship take a big step forward. Things develop on the home front until Marty is sent to South Africa to take care of a French sponsored pirate threat to the British East India Company. That leads him to India, and a link up with Arthur Wellesley.
It's explosive, passionate and exciting. What a life!
