Like victors and lords

Sheridan 1 Captain Alex Sheridan, hero of the series that bears his name, commands a unit of the East India Company in the heat of the deadly battles of the Crimean War. Despised by the aristocratic generals of the regular army, Sheridan and his corps of volunteers must face both the rigors of combat and the treachery of men who should be allies. In the end, both the Light and the Heavy Brigades must charge into the arms of the enemy and win the day - or die trying. This thrilling first installment of the Sheridan series combines history and supposition in a deft interweaving of fact and fiction.
