About the Books
This collection gathers the first four instalments in Edward Marston's Captain Rawson series, tracing the exploits of Captain Daniel Rawson, a soldier, spy, linguist and duellist serving under John Churchill, the Duke of Marlborough. In Soldier of Fortune, Rawson proves himself indispensable to the Confederate forces as they march towards the ferocious Battle of Blenheim, using charm and cunning as readily as his sword. Drums of War sends him on a perilous undercover mission into France in 1705 to trace a missing Allied spy posing as a Dutch tapestry-maker at Versailles. Fire and Sword finds Rawson stranded behind enemy lines in Flanders in 1707, pursued by French soldiers after a dangerous solo mission. Finally, Under Siege sees Rawson facing his toughest battle yet as Marlborough's campaign stalls at the gruelling siege of Lille while his command is threatened by enemies back home. Together, the four novels combine meticulously researched military history with fast-paced storytelling, vivid characters and genuine tension, making this an ideal set for readers who enjoy historical fiction rooted in real campaigns, battles and political machinations of the period.
