I have a hankering for reading some lightweight colonial era fiction. I have read a lot of Flashman. I have read a couple of the Simon Fonthill and am left wanting something else. Wilcox spends too much time shoving modern sensibilities into his characters – and the characters are pretty cardboard.
What other suggestions do folks have. |

The Dando Trilogy is SUPERB…by William Clive, along with a few other books. V.A. Stuart's not bad either, followed by the James Ogilvie NWF (and some Boer, extraneous) series |

Agree about the Dando trilogy. Don't know anything about the others |

Donald Featherstone wrote a few novels, I have a few but haven't read them yet. They're available still from the History of Wargaming: wargaming.co/novels/home.htm Have VA Stuart too, they look pretty good. |
