Man of Honour: This is the first book in a stunning new series from respected military historian, Iain Gale, perfect for all fans of Sharpe.
Meet Lieutenant Jack Steel -- gentleman, soldier, hero. Upper Bavaria, 1704. The British army, victorious, unbeaten since the Peninsula war, stands proudly to attention, ready to fight for honour and glory. Their enemy is Louis XIV of France, a megalomaniac intent on possessing all Europe. Among this proud group of men stands Lieutenant Jack Steel, admired by his men, the finest infantry in Queen Anne's army. Much praised for his courage, his strength, and his loyalty, Steel has come to the attention of his Commander in Chief, the Duke of Marlborough. Tasked with rescuing a letter whose controversial contents could destroy Marlborough, Steel leads his men through the battle of Blenheim, risking death and destruction in the fight for another man's honour. And along the way he is constantly threatened from within by the mellifluous Major Jennings, intent on destroying Steel and all he stands for.

Rules of War: Jack Steel marches on in this second of a Sharpe-like series which started with 'Man of Honour'. Fans of Sharpe will rejoice in Steel. In the early eighteenth century, the British army led by John Churchill, Duke of Marlborough, were the leaders of a wide-ranging and very successful alliance. Jack Steel, maverick gentleman, superb soldier, was in the middle of any fight. Here Jack Steel and his Scottish Grenadiers are fighting in a crucial campaign in Spain against the Spanish Crown but aided, erratically, by local guerrillas. But their way of fighting is far from the British army's ways or standards and Jack Steel must chose between winning the battle and adherence to civilised rules.

Brothers in Arms: Charismatic hero Jack Steel returns, in a new and perilous adventure. England 1708 and Jack Steel returns to Flanders from England a married man.But his wife Lady Henrietta Vaughan is proving expensive and Jack must look for a promotion.As the battle of Oudenarde Steel is sent in to stem off the French attack and wins a glorious victory for Marlborough.The allies eyes' turn from Paris to Lille, where the Dutch have reccommened a siege. Unbeknownst to them, Marlborough sends Steel, his trusted envoy to Paris to broker a deal with a man who has the ear of the French King. Disguised, in danger of exposure and in fear of his life, Steel accomplishes his mission and makes it back to the bloody, mud-logged siege of Lille--a victory for the British in the end, but at huge cost of human life.
