An Indomitable Brigade
(2022)(The seventh book in the Peninsular War Saga series)
A novel by Lynn Bryant
An Indomitable Brigade
May 1813
The long months of winter quarters are over, and Lord Wellington leads his army into Spain once more, with a strategy designed to push King Joseph Bonaparte's army back into France. Officers, men and the women who accompany them endure a series of relentless forced marches in bad weather as the columns of Wellington's army converge on the town of Vitoria.
Major-General Paul van Daan is in his element, back on campaign with Anne by his side and his men in good health and high spirits. The new commander for the 115th, Lieutenant-Colonel Philip Norton is a big improvement on Major Vane and Van Daan's brigade is ready to fight.
Lieutenant-Colonel Carl Swanson is enjoying married life and Keren is becoming used to her role as the wife of an officer. Colonel Johnny Wheeler is less settled in his personal life. Torn between loyalty to a former love and his feelings for a woman he met while on furlough in England, he could do without having to deal with a new junior officer who is taking a lax attitude to his duties.
Sergeant Jamie Hammond is worried he’s waited too long to act on his attachment to the young daughter of a fellow NCO. Meanwhile, in the French lines, Captain Damien Cavel takes command of a company of the 30th légère and finds himself facing the prospect of fighting against the husband of the woman whose life he once saved.
Personal dramas and conflicting loyalties are swept aside as the armies of Joseph Bonaparte and Lord Wellington clash on the field of Vitoria. In the slaughter that follows, Paul van Daan's indomitable brigade faces one of its hardest tests so far, while on the bloodstained operating tables of the hospitals and field stations, Anne and the medical staff fight to save the lives of both friend and foe.
