Cunningham's revenge
In Peshawar, a tentative alliance between the Pathan Muslims and the gathering Hindus once again spells potential danger for the Raj. In an attempt to bring peace to this troubled region, the High Commissioner brings in the 114th. Queen's Own Royal Strathspeys - a decision that will stretch the British forces' patriotism to the limit. Captain James Ogilvie is then seconded into the Political Department and sent on a dangerous mission to infiltrate the hostile region of Peshawar. He must seek out the Pathan leader who calls himself the Star of Islam, but there are a multitude of obstacles that look certain to block his way.

The major deciding battle...
A well written book that chronicles the final major battle that could the British losing the Indian Empire. One in the series of excellently written books that could stand alone or be read as a series. Characters well developed and the action is superbly fast & decisive. You won’t be disappointed with this or any of the others books in this epic series.
