This is the new 'Fancy Jack' Crossman novel. The Indian Mutiny has almost run its course, but there are still battles to be fought before the uprising is finally put down. Lieutenant Jack Crossman, posted to India from his adventures in the Crimea, finds himself plagued by one Captain Deighnton, who seems determined to duel with him to the death. The reason for Deighnton's animosity appears to run deeper than a simple exchange of insults. When Jack is abducted following the Battle of Bareilly, and accused in his absence of desertion, he has to fight to clear his name - only to find Deighnton waiting for yet another, perhaps final duel...

As the reviewer below remarks, 'Rogue Officer's predecessor, 'Brothers of the Blade', was not the best book in the Fancy Jack Crossman canon. 'Rogue Officer', however, harkens back to the glory of the Crimean books, matching my personal favourites, 'Devil's Own' and 'Valley of Death'. There is a good mix of subterfuge and military action, and readers of the Crimean books will revel in the return of an old face.
If you're thinking of trying a Crossman book for the first time, this would be a good place to start as any. Then go back and read the Crimean books...

I'm SO pleased this series is continuing, I was vastly disappointed in 'Brothers of the Blade', but this new title is as good as any of the Crimea set books. I've been a fan from the start, in fact this is always a favorite genre for me - military, historical fiction and 'Fancy' Jack Crossman stands in good company with Richard Sharpe, Matthew Hervey and the newcomer Jack Steel.
I recommend this book to any lover of military history.
