Meet Lieutenant Jack Steel -- gentleman, soldier, hero.
Upper Bavaria, 1704, the British army, victorious, unbeaten since the Peninsula war, stands proudly to attention, ready to fight for honour and glory. Their enemy is Louis XIV of France, a megalomaniac intent on possessing all Europe.
Among this proud group of men stands Lieutenant Jack Steel, admired and loved by his men, the finest infantry in Queen Anne's army. Much praised for his courage, his strength, and his loyalty, Steel has come to the attention of his Commander in Chief, the Duke of Marlborough.
Tasked with rescuing a letter whose controversial contents could destroy Marlborough, Steel leads his men through the battle of Blenheim, risking death and destruction in the fight for another man's honour. And along the way he is constantly threatened from within by the mellifluous Colonel Jennings, intent on destroying Steel and all he stands for.
The first in a stunning new series featuring Jack Steel, 'Man of Honour' is historical adventure perfect for all fans of Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe.
