From the Inside Flap
SON’S A Close Run Thing and Honorable Company stirred readers and critics with the military adventures of young Captain Matthew Hervey at the Battle of Waterloo and amid the harsh terrain and treacherous intrigues of India. Now, in 1817, Hervey returns to an England whose hard-won peace is shaken by the distress and discord of its people. And even as he is caught up in the turbulent dawn of a new era, he must combat a deliberate attempt to orchestrate his own ruin.
The honors he won in India fell short of Captain Matthew Hervey’s deepest desire–to return to his beloved 6th Light Dragoons. But now circumstances allow him to resume command of the unit–and to marry the beautiful Lady Henrietta Lindsay, whom he has loved since childhood. Meanwhile, however, his soldier’s heart is pierced by the sight of men in British scarlet crippled in the service of king and country, now forgotten and cast off, reduced to begging and petty crime.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. - Captain Matthew Hervey has faced many tests both on and off the battlefield, but when he returns to his beloved Sixth Light Dragoons he must address a new challenge from a totally unexpected quarter. It is the spring of 1817, and Matthew Hervey is home from India to rejoin his regiment, and to marry, at last, Henrietta. England is not the place he knew, however. The clamour for parliamentary and economic reform is bringing the country close to revolution. Every day the newspapers report conspiracies, violent assemblies, machine-breaking, arson and murder. There is no professional constabulary, and the onerous task of policing falls increasingly to the army - especially the cavalry. In the Sixth Light Dragoons, too, things are not as they were. There is a new commanding officer - rich, vain, arrogant, cruel; and with a dark secret. His dislike of Hervey is immediate and intense. Yet Matthew Hervey must somehow earn this man's recommendation for promotion, or else he will have to retire on half-pay. Hervey faces a year of trials - in his marriage, his loyalty to his men, his professional skill. The mistakes begin to tell, and when the regiment is sent urgently to Canada where, The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.
