THE REGIMENT TRILOGY by Christopher Nicole

‘Told with smooth authenticity’ – Publishers’ Weekly

‘Military saga covering the years from the Boer War through WWI. 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

From the bloody fields of colonial India to the dusty plains of South Africa, The Regiment Trilogy follows generations of the Mackinder family and the legendary Royal Western Dragoon Guards. Bound by tradition and driven by the weight of legacy, these men of war carry the colours of their forebears into battle—on horseback and in tanks, in glory and in grief.

Spanning three powerful novels—The Regiment, The Command, and The Triumph—this richly detailed trilogy captures a vanishing era of military gallantry and imperial ambition. At its heart stands Murdoch Mackinder, a young officer destined to leave his mark—or perish in the attempt. Haunted by family legend, tested by brutal campaigns, and hardened by betrayal and loss, Murdoch must prove himself worthy of the regimental prayer that has echoed through the ages.

Perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe series and with the historical scope of C.S. Forester's Hornblower novels, The Regiment Trilogy is a masterclass in historical storytelling—epic, emotional, and unforgettable

You get three books in this great value edition:
