India 1895: James Ogilvy, subaltern with the 114th Highlanders, the Queen's own Royal Strathspeys, is stationed on the Northwest Frontier, where the ceremony, the sadism, the absurdity, and the magnificence of life in the service of the Queen Empress are ever in uneasy juxtaposition. He witnesses both the grim results of a disastrous patrol and the formally prescribed social world of Simla, where his friendship with Major Archdale's beautiful young wife causes another kind of stir. Now an unexpected recruit could make all the difference between defeat and victory, and only James can make the decision to use this means to success..

reviewed Soldier of the Queen on March 06, 2020 Soldier of the Queen
"Lieutenant of the Line" is the second in this series. A soldier's life in the 1890 British army in India is a far cry from life at home. The life of the ordinary soldier is one of hardship coupled with cruelty from superiors. The higher the rank, the more the indifference towards the lower ranks. The book is a great description of British aristocracy playing at war.
James Ogilvie lives by the choices he makes. With a combination of bad luck and his own willingness to misinterpret orders, he always seems to be on the edge of ending his career or life. But miracles can happen.
