The Sabre's Edge

The Sabre's Edge by Allan Mallinson
1824. The Sixth Light Dragoons are still stationed in India and the talk in the officer's mess is of war.
The Burmese are encroaching on Company land and skirmishes are common on India's borders. Meanwhile, across the country in Bhurtpoor the succession to the Raj has been usurped. The rightful claimant Balwant Sing has been forced from the throne by the war-mongering Durjan Sal. The conflict looks set to flair up into bloody conflict, taking the surrounding provinces with it. With the threat of war on two fronts the British troops must intercede.
