Warrior

Allan Mallinson is a former senior officer in the British Army and commander of one of it's, now motorised, cavalry regiments. It is not surprising, therefore, that he has produced ten excellent novels featuring Mathew Hervey of the 6th Light Dragoons. In Warrior Hervey is once again in South Africa involved in one of the many skirmishes with the local tribes that occupied the British Army between the major engagements of the Napoleonic Wars and the conflict with the Boer Republic. Mallinson has once again produced an entertaining novel from one of history's minor incidents.
