The Sepoy Mutiny
Ms. Stuart does very well as a writer of historical fiction. She has a good command of the period and things of which she writes. The events are vividly chronicled, and accurate from a historical perspective insofar as I can determine from independent research. I would caution that the Lucknow book should be read after the preceding two books in the Alex Sheridan...

not a very good series
The Sheridan series is pretty weak. V.A. Stuart is no Bernard Cornwell. The author knows her history well enough, but the main character isn't very interesting, nor does he really do anything interesting, despite being involved in the Crimean War and the Indian Mutiny. On the whole, I was glad I got these from the library rather than buying them.

The Sepoy Mutiny,

Ms. Stuart does very well as a writer of historical fiction. She has a good command of the period and things of which she writes. The events are vividly chronicled, and accurate from a historical perspective insofar as I can determine from independent research. I would caution that the Lucknow book should be read after the preceding two books in the Alex Sheridan series--The Sepoy Mutiny and Massacre at Cawnpore. Ms. Stuart's works leave me reflecting on how hard it was to live in those times and places. Life was so brutal.

This review is from: The Cannons of Lucknow (Alexander Sheridan Adventures, No. 4) (Paperback)
The Cannons of Lucknow serves mainly to connect the events depicted in Massacre at Cawnpore with The Heroic Garrison.
