1824, the Sixth Light Dragoons are still stationed in India, and the talk in the officers' mess is of war. The Burmese are increasingly challenging the Company's dominion, and skirmishes are becoming common on India's borders. A blaze looks set to flare, taking the surrounding provinces with it. With the threat of war on two fronts, British troops must intervene.

I’m enjoying this series very much. Listening to the audible version on my commute. In quality up there with O‘Brian and Fraser.

John Perry did two things on his 75th birthday. First he visited his wife's grave. Then he joined the army. The good news is that humanity finally made it into interstellar space. The bad news is that planets fit to live on are scarce—and alien races willing to fight us for them are common. So: we fight. To defend Earth, and to stake our own claim to planetary real estate. Far from Earth, the war has been going on for decades: brutal, bloody, unyielding. Earth itself is a backwater.

The story was interesting. The narrator was excellent. Capable of reading in voices that were consistent with the characters, including women’s voices. But he and the author should have come to some sort of agreement about the extreme overuse of “he said/she said”. In many, if not most, situations they were totally unnecessary. For example in a conversation between a male and female character when the narrator plainly read in a voice appropriate to the sex of the speaker. After a while it became annoying, breaking into the rhythm of the story and preventing me from losing myself in the story. I don’t know if the original text was this way, but with the written word one can choose to not register this, but with a narrator I couldn’t. I haven’t had this problem with other audible versions of books.
