The Regiment Trilogy
(2017)(A book in the Regiment Trilogy series)
An omnibus of novels by Christopher Nicole
Collected together in this special edition for the first time, all three books in The Regiment Trilogy are brilliantly-evoked military stories for the ages.
THE REGIMENT
Young subaltern Murdoch Mackinder sees battle for the first time during the Boer War, but he soon rises through the ranks to become his regiment's most famous member. Realising he needs more than just courage if he wants to survive, Murdoch must quickly adjust to army life.
THE COMMAND
Murdoch Mackinder finds himself in charge of the North West Frontier in India, rapidly promoted after WWI. Now happily married, his past comes back to haunt him when the mother of his first child re-enters his life. From the trenches of France to the Dunkirk evacuation, Mackinder faces death from all angles.
THE TRIUMPH
England, 1940. Sir Murdoch Mackinder is now in charge of secret intelligence. Forced to remain in Yugoslavia until the end of the war, he finds himself comrade-in-arms with an old enemy. Meanwhile his son Fergus, now a tank commander with the Desert Rats, finds himself in a sticky situation with his Sergeant Major...
'... told with smooth authenticity' - Publishers' Weekly
'... military saga covering the years from the Boer War through WW I. Bosoms still heave and legs still flash, but they're background colour in the story of Murdoch Mackinder and his career in the family regiment' - Kirkus Review
'Well-researched... Evocative descriptions of scenery and edifices, and exact period dialogue' - Historical Novels
