In a land at once alien, exotic and beguiling, Matthew Hervey's mettle will be tested to the limit...

Reviews for The Nizam's Daughters (The Matthew Hervey Adventures: 2): A rip-roaring and riveting military adventure from bestselling author Allan Mallinson.

"""A marvellous read, paced like a well-balanced symphony ... This is more than a ripping yarn...I look forward enormously to hearing more of Hervey's exploits; he is as fascinating on horseback as Jack Aubrey is on the quarterdeck."" The Times ""'This is an engaging work...The attention to detail is admirable'"" Daily Express ""Allan Mallinson's grasp of the technical side of his subject is effortless and impressive...The portrayal of the men of all ranks is excellent ...This promises to be an extremely enjoyable series"" Spectator ""Treads a middle course between the subtleties of O'Brian and the simplicities of Cornwell...An exciting, fast-moving story, full of bloody hacking with sabre and tulwar."" Evening Standard ""'O'Brian's equal in accurate knowledge of the equipment, methods, weapons and conditions of serve of the fighting men of whom he writes...An imaginative feat of high order, owning as much to thorough scholarship as it does to compassion and sensibility... Brilliantly conveyed'"" Country Life"
