An Officer and a Gentleman
(2025)(The fifth book in the Soldier of the Queen series)
A novel by Griff Hosker
Griff Roberts and the Desert Group find themselves the only British soldiers guarding a huge tract of Egyptian desert. When foreign powers begin to encroach on the land and to raid the caravans, it is up to the beleaguered garrison of Fort Farafra to do something about it. Fighting ambush, nature and violent sandstorms, the camel riding soldiers are tested to their very limit.
Griff Hosker's An Officer and a Gentleman delivers a gripping blend of suspense and historical authenticity in a fresh setting. Set in the unforgiving Egyptian desert in the late 19th century, the narrative follows Griff Roberts and the Desert Group as they confront foreign incursions and natural adversity, including violent sandstorms. Hosker's meticulous research shines through, immersing readers in the era's challenges with vivid detail. The novel's beautifully paced action and well-developed characters make it hard to put down, with dread reaching a high point as the protagonist struggles to out-maneuver his formidable adversary..This is a compelling fusion of history and drama in a time and place that was new to me. -- Nancy Bilyeau, author of The Versailles Formula
