This latest entry in Soldiers of the Queen continues the series’ tradition of well-written historical drama centred on the soldiers of the British Empire. Jack Roberts embarks on one final adventure in the desert, seeking vital oil for the Royal Navy. Meanwhile, his young son begins his own career as an army officer, promising adventures as compelling as his father’s. With rich characters, vivid settings, and strong historical detail, the series remains thoroughly engaging.
