A world away, the real Samuel Forbes is planning to return to London - with potentially disastrous consequences for Samuel and Ian both.Then Ian is posted to India, but not before a brief return to England and a reunion with the woman he loves. In India he renews his friendship with Peter Campbell, and discovers that Alice has taken on a most unlikely role. Together they face the enemy and the terrible deprivations and savagery of war - and then Ian receives news from London that crushes all his hopes...PRAISE FOR THE QUEEN'S TIGER'Watt has a true knack for producing captivating historical adventures filled with action, intrigue and family drama' Canberra Weekly
