Surfing the internet has once again uncovered two more authors writing in the historical military fiction genre, IAIN GALE and ADRIAN GOLDSWORTHY
"FOUR DAYS IN JUNE" was the debut novel by Iain Gale released in 2006. It covers the four days of the Battle of Waterloo from the view points of five military figures, Wellington, Napoleon, Marshal Ney, General De Lancey, Colonel MacDonnell and General Ziethen, a Prussian officer.
This novel was followed by the adventures of Jack Steel set during the Spanish Wars of Succession. There are three books in the series so far.
His latest novel is KEANE'S COMPANY released this year and is set during the Peninsular Wars (1808). James Keane, an officer in the 27th Foot, and his band of hand-picked men, are sent on an intelligence gathering mission behind enemy lines.
Iain Gale also writes military fiction set during World War II and has written a number of non-fiction books on a variety of subjects.
"TRUE SOLDIER GENTLEMAN" is the first in a series of novels by Adrian Goldsworthy set during the Napoleonic Wars. Four books, out of a possible twelve, are currently available. The titles are all taken from songs popular at the time and another little gem, especially for fans of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Wickham is amongst the officers of the 106th Regiment of Foot.
Adrian Goldsworthy is also an ancient historian who has written several non-fiction books about the Roman Empire.
