Burgos and Beyond, the Sixth Instalment in David J. Blackmore’s Acclaimed Wellington’s Dragoon Series is out now from Brindle Books Ltd.
Brindle Books Ltd is proud to announce the publication of Burgos and Beyond, the much-anticipated sixth book in David J. Blackmore’s popular historical-military fiction series, Wellington’s Dragoon. Rich with authentic period detail and gripping battlefield drama, the novel continues the adventures of Michael Roberts, an officer of the 16th Light Dragoons, as he rides once more into the turbulent heart of the Peninsular War.
Set in the early 1800s during Britain’s struggle against Napoleon’s armies, Burgos and Beyond picks up with Roberts and his comrades facing new hardships, new enemies, and the unrelenting uncertainty of war. From the desperate retreat after the failed Siege of Burgos to the sweeping advances that follow, Blackmore delivers a vivid, human portrayal of courage, loyalty, and survival against the backdrop of one of Europe’s most dramatic military campaigns.
“David J. Blackmore combines meticulous historical research with compelling storytelling,” said Richard Hinchliffe, Director of Brindle Books Ltd. “Readers who have followed Michael Roberts’s journey from the outset will find Burgos and Beyond to be an exhilarating and emotionally resonant continuation of the saga, while newcomers can expect an immersive and engaging introduction to the world of the 16th Light Dragoons.”
The Wellington’s Dragoon series has garnered praise for its authenticity, character depth, and cinematic depiction of cavalry warfare—qualities that have made it a favourite among fans of Bernard Cornwell, Patrick O’Brian, and other masters of historical fiction.
Burgos and Beyond is now available in paperback (ISBN: 978-1-915631-27-5) and digital formats.
