A vivid story of rebellion against colonial rule
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I am sorry to find that this is apparently the last book in the series, as I have read 2 through 4 and enjoyed them all. I highly recommend that they be read in sequence, as they follow chronological events in the uprising against British rule in India in 1857 and the personal life of the fictional character Colonel Alexander Sheridan. The stories are engaging and hard to put down. There is a lot of exciting action, and the historical situation is fascinating. My only criticism is that the British characters are always depicted as capable, gallant and heroic whereas some of the Indians are portrayed as honest and loyal and others as brutal and deceitful. It is definitely a colonial perspective.
The fifth good book in the series
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I know of only five volumes in the Sheridan series, and was surprised to find that this one is in print in large print format. I had thought them all to be out of print entirely. I have the five in paperback, and found them to be uniformly good reading. Do yourself a favor and become acquainted with them.
