January 1830, and one of the hardest winters in memory . . .
And the prime minister, the Iron Duke, is resisting growing calls for parliamentary reform, provoking scenes of violent unrest in the countryside. But there are no police outside London and most of the yeomanry regiments, to whom the authorities had always turned when disorder threatened, have been disbanded as an economy measure. Against this inflammable backdrop Lieutenant-Colonel Matthew Hervey, recently returned from an assignment in the Balkans, takes command of his regiment, the 6th Light Dragoons. His fears that things might be a little dull are quickly dispelled by the everyday business of vexatious officers, difficult choices over which NCOs to promote not to mention the incendiarists on the doorstep of the King himself. But it’s when the Sixth are sent to Brussels for the fifteenth anniversary celebrations of the battle of Waterloo and find themselves caught up in the Belgian uprising against Dutch rule that the excitement really starts. Will Hervey be able to keep out of the fighting – a war that would lead, nearly a century later, to Britain’s involvement in an altogether different war – while safeguarding his country’s interests? Not likely!

Review
"One for the fans, who will not be disappointed by Mallinson's winning combination of scrupulous research and derring-do...with the French in front and the Russians behind, Hervey's your man." -- Antonia Senior THE TIMES

Hervey #12
By Manly Reading
I must be mellowing in my dotage, since some volumes ago the lack of action caused me no little angst, whereas now I find myself almost appreciating the picture drawn of England in 1830 as Hervey navigates the issues of command of a regiment and neglect of his family. On the up side too, we see something of Captain Peto, who promptly steals every scene he is in: and perhaps a little happiness is coming his way at last. If nothing else, I could forgive a lot due to that alone, since Peto is perhaps - along with Fairbrother - the best man appearing in the Hervey series. As I've said before, I'd prefer to have read another nautical series with Peto the hero, but Mr Mallinson writes of what he knows, a cavalry regiment, and there is some little value in that also.
Early Hervey volumes were described as "a cavalry Sharpe" - and that may have been true then, but certainly is not now. This is a much loving fictional history of the rural troubles of the winter of 1830, and then of commemorations of Waterloo with yet more civil disturbance (but by foreigners who really don’t know better, rather than by Englishmen). In the end, I enjoy the history enough to let the paucity of battles pass by, but I do have to say that any blurb on the back of the book promising action should be taken with a very large pinch of salt.
I don’t know where Hervey goes after this, and to a degree I don’t mind. This is more Austen than Cornwell, but if you can manage that, well recommended.

Allan Mallinson has replaced Patrick O'Brien as my favorite author of historical fiction
By Steven M. Crain
Allan Mallinson has replaced Patrick O'Brien as my favorite author of historical fiction. His Matthew Hervey series is outstanding- beautifully and intelligently written, nearly flawlessly researched, and vividly descriptive. Interestingly, although there is relatively little "action" in this, his latest installment, I think it may actually be my favorite of the series. Mallinson is not afraid to take us into his character's inner life, and Hervey's is extremely well-drawn. His is a deeper, richer character than most heroes of historical fiction. He sins, and feels remorse that is believable for the son of a cleric. The secondary characters are very well done, also. This is a mature, intelligently written novel, and at the same time, it has enough excitement even for the literary adrenalin fan.
Thank you, Brigadier Mallinson! Please send us more!

Worthwhile, but not the best in the series
By Todd Gibson
Compared to the other books, I thought this one was a little weaker, although still enjoyable. No epic battles, a bit of politics, just seemed a little slow although well written as always.
