Synopsis
A young officer’s life, choices, and the unpredictable pull of fate. This historical novel follows Allan MacDonagh, a bright but restless cavalry officer, through early shoots of ambition and the pull of family expectations. Narrated by a seasoned observer, the story blends military life, social circles, and personal memory as it traces how chance, circumstance, and loyalty shape a man’s path.
- Meet a society-rich world of clubs, estates, and portraits that frame a soldier’s journey.
- Watch how early missteps, friendships, and the pull of duty steer career and character.
- Experience vivid scenes of riding, hunting, and the quiet rituals of a life lived in the shadow of history.
- Feel the mood and tempo of a bygone era as the narrator reflects on memory, loss, and what makes a life “above the average.”
Ideal for readers who enjoy character-driven historical fiction with a strong sense of place, atmosphere, and the costs of ambition.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This is a stirring memoir exploring the tragic life of an unforgettable military man. Allan MacDonagh, known as the Last of the Comets, was a man of noble character, joining the Black Horse cavalry at a time when men were most abundantly rewarded for less. Though he showed natural ability and an aptitude for leadership, unfortunate circumstances and the shadows of his past dogged him relentlessly. One of history's almost-men, his trajectory from promising young Cornet to unfulfilled promise is a poignant testament to both the randomness of life, and the impact of human agency in the face of adversity.
