We come across our hero, Captain Rawson, deep inside the war-ravaged borders of Europe, as he fights alongside the brave and resolute Earl of Marlborough in defeating the, self-proclaimed, 'invincible' French army. Yet victory is short lived, blunted by the dissenting voices of the Dutch, who secretly seek to wrestle the power and life from Rawson's compatriot, Marlborough. In these hostile and insecure times, Captain Rawson is called on to succeed in his biggest, most daring mission to date: the rescue of a celebrated tapestry-maker turned spy from inside the fortified Bastille - the pride of a despotic France.Now alone behind enemy-lines, the undaunted Rawson must apply all his guile and wit in his rescuing of the renowned prisoner and his beautiful daughter, Amalia - a delicate girl to whom Rawson's friendship soon blossoms into something more.However, unbeknownst to Rawson the French and Dutch have already combined to plot both the assassination of Marlborough and the reclaiming of his power. This time Europe is beginning to close in on him, and it will take all of his self-sacrifice, skill and sincerity to once again rescue the war and the army's pride from out of the clutches of the betrayers.

Once again the intrepid soldier/spy is engaged in his arts, could he be the first James Bond ? He certainly seems to be able to woo the women to get the information he wants.
Never short of vivid action both on and off the field of battle and the fast moving storyline carries the reader along at pace.
If anything Mr Marston has written a better book than his first (Soldier of Fortune)as we are shown more of the world outside of Daniel Rawson with the introduction of Sgt Welbeck's Nephew and his entry into the world of Marlborough's Army. This provides a good background to the books in general and brings in other characters. It also removes the feeling you often get of only reading about the "Privilged" (Officer) class in books of this type ! More of this please without wandering too far away from the main storyline.
Looking forward to the next instalment.

I was very disappointed with this book as it was set in a period which has had very limited exposure and i was hoping for a Marlborough version of Sharpe and Wellington. But on reading, it felt like a plan for a novel without any passion. I cannot recommend it
