As the twentieth century approaches, this is a story of blood and battle, of love and passion
The new generation serving with Scotlands proudest Regiment are destined to lead a life of action every bit as far-flung and exciting as their fathers.
For Donald Bruce, this turbulent time begins when he is unable to order the death of one of his own men; for Ian Maclaren, when he falls in love with the beautiful but illegitimate Naomi.
From the burning deserts of the Sudan to the infinite veldt of South Africa, from the windswept Highlands to fashionable London, this is the second part of a powerful series following the Maclaren family.
CL (Clement Lister) Skelton's varied career included stage and film acting, war service in the RAF, seven years as a lay brother with a religious order, hunting the Loch Ness monster and selling insurance and brushes door-to-door in the Scottish Highlands. He was born in Tynemouth in 1919 and died in 1979.
