The Three Colonels: Jane Austen's Fighting Men
"Caldwell stays true to Austen's original characters here, but modifies them in ways that help them evolve in the new story lines he has created for them. They are fresh and fun, and fully dramatic, with plenty of intrigue and backstabbing to go around on the international stage... Readers will enjoy revisiting some of their favorite characters, seeing new sides of old characters, and being introduced to new, engaging characters. Overall, a unique novel that brings some action to the upper echelons of society." -Savvy Verse and Wit"I'm a fan of all things Austen, but Caldwell takes it to a new level with this book. His characters are flawless and his style is classy and forthright. 5 out of 5 apples!" -Debbie's Book Bag"The TheThree Colonelsis humorous and lighthearted, but also serious and touching. ...I couldn't put it down." -Diary of an Eccentric"By the time I was half-way though the novel, I was so thoroughly in love with the colonels, their ladies, and the endearing camaraderie amongst them all, I wished it never to stop. The author has possibly presented the most historically accurate account of Waterloo in a work of fiction since Georgette Heyer's An Infamous Army... Achingly romantic and breathlessly paced, the story ate me alive with alternating feelings of dread, mirth, tears, and joy....just what a great read is supposed to do. 4.5 out of 5 Regency Stars" -Austenprose"Jack Caldwell writes one heck of an amazing battle scene. ...I've seen some other authors attempt to bring characters from other Jane Austen novels into their novel but none have succeeded so well and on such a grand scale. 4.5/5.0 stars" -Books Like Breathing"Brimming with romance, action, and drama Jack Caldwell once again delivers a spectacularly epic Austenesque novel! And when I say epic, I mean epic!" -Austenesque Reviews"This novel was a delightful discovery . Different from other sequels I've read , yet in the trend of the Austenesque vogue, it champions love, loss, redemption, duty and war." -My Jane Austen Book Club"TheThree Colonelsis the ideal read for Austen fans, and one of the most enjoyable Austen sequels I've read in a long time." -Luxury Reading"I would certainly recommend this one to Austen fans as it is entertaining with a nice bit of humor sprinkled throughout." -The Lady Gwyn's Kingdom
