I believe that this is the best book of the series. As the last it paves the way for a new series but it does much more than that as it shows the dark side of a young man's life in an infantry regiment in the 1960's and the pressure it places on him. This part of the book it based on fact and makes you realise that life in the Army is never as simple as it seems.

This tale brings into question who actual discovered the New World and underlines the feats of the Carthaginians and their forefathers more than two thousand years ago. It makes you want to read the historical background of this book.

This is perhaps the most vivid battlescene that Adam has encountered to date and is based on recorded exploits of the British & Empire forces fighting the enemy.

This book is interesting in that it gives an insight into the lives of young Army recruits having to cope with the rigours of Army life as well as a thrilling tale of the English Civil War and its impact on those caught up in it.
