The title of the first book in the Ian Carlyle Series is Follow Me to Glory. The Crimean War, during which the bulk of the story takes place, was an absolute disaster. There had not been a major war in Europe for 40 years, since Wellington fought Napoleon. In 1854, the British were ill prepared to fight such a large-scale war. Too many of the lessons learned against Napoleon had been forgotten, and Wellington was no longer around. The butcher’s bill for this forgetfulness was paid in soldiers’ lives.

Satan’s Last Whisper, is a powerful thriller that mixes historical fiction and psychological portraiture. Real historical people are inextricably woven into Ian Carlyle’s life.
