I was a little concerned when I saw Archibald was continuing the Windrush stories by introducing a son. But I overall enjoyed the Windrush books so I gave these new ones a try. I'm glad I did. The first two take place in South Africa and were fine. The third takes place in Burma and that's why it's my favorite. The first Windrush took place there and I really like the location. Archibald seems to have his history and geography down. His fight scenes are exciting and he sprinkles the stories with cultural insights. Now if the next Baird (the son) book goes to Afghanistan to fight the Great Game, I'll be a happy reader. My favorite historical war novels take place there.
My only complaint is about the women. Both the main women in the two series, seem a little too modern for the stories. The books are basically 'Boy's Own Books' for adults and I read them for the adventure aspect not romance, anyway. That said the romances are compelling enough that I can tolerate them.
I gave this book 5 stars and maybe 4 and a half would have been more appropriate but they are fun and rousing books and if you're looking for an exciting read, I recommend this, and all the Windrush, books,
