Product Description

Review
"- The novel is packed with action... all in all, our hero has more lives than a catl' - Crimean War Research Society - '... details the horrifying truth of the (Crimean) campaign with dash and a very keen eye for historical detail.' - Western Morning News - 'A rousing tale which will entertain all who enjoy historical fiction.' - The War Correspondent - 'The story moves along at a cracking pace. The historical detail is well researched and paints a vivid picture of a British army where supplies are scant... disease is rife and morale is low, yet there is the raw guts of men sent to do a job, regardless of the odds.' - Historical Novel Society

Product Description
Sergeant Jack Crossman's second adventure is set at the notorious Battle of Balaclava, where he is witness to the tragic and hopeless charge of the Light Brigade. Rousing narrative of courage on the field and the horrifying realities of the Crimean campaign are related with verve and meticulous historical detail, in the spirit of the great military adventures.

4.0 out of 5 stars A review of 'The Valley of Death', 24 Nov 2003
I enjoyed this book thoroughly - I think it's a good sequel. It's not as gripping as a sharpe, and I still think that the characters need to develop a bit more. I also thought the title inappropriate - the light Brigade doesn't feature for very long at all - and Fancy Jack doesn't even take part! (had it been a sharpe I'm sure B. Cornwall would have found a way to include sharpe in the charge..)
However, despite what I've said it does keep you waiting to read the 3rd and I would reccommend this book to my mates and to my family. I hope that this review has helped you make a decision...

5.0 out of 5 stars Five stars because it gives continuity to the saga..., 30 Sep 2007
By Alejo "ADB" (Andorra) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
How the author resisted the temptation of placing Alexander Kirk (sorry FANCY Jack Crossman) on a horse and send it charging with either the Heavy or the Light Brigades is possibly the best decision he ever did...

A sort of "filler" in the five books saga dedicated to THE CRIMEA... but it establishes firmly the character and also the rest of sidekicks and secondary characters...

Unavoidable read even if the third and fourth volumes are superior to it and probably the high water mark of the saga...

Well done!

ADB
