FROM THE Crimean War to the Sepoy Mutiny, the Alexander Sheridan Adventures deftly combine history and supposition in tales of scarlet soldiering that cunningly interweave fact and fiction.
Alexander Sheridan, unjustly forced out of the army, leaves Britain and his former life behind and joins the East India Company, still in pursuit of those ideals of honor and heroism that buoyed the British Empire for three hundred years. Murder, war, and carnage await him. But with British stoicism and an unshakable iron will, he will stand tall against the atrocities of war, judging all by their merit rather than by the color of their skin or the details of their religion.
“Stuart’s saga of Captain Sheridan during the Mutiny stands in the shadow of no previous work of fiction, and for historical accuracy, writing verve and skill, and pace of narrative, stands alone.”
—El Paso Times

Born in 1914, she was in Burma with the British Fourteenth Army in WW II, became a lieutenant, and was decorated with the Burma Star and the Pacific Star.
