| Summary | "Second to None: A Military Romance, Volume 2 (of 3)" by James Grant is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The story unfolds around soldiers during the tumultuous period of war, specifically revolving around the British troops in Brittany. The main characters include a young soldier, Basil, and various officers, including Charters and Cornet Keith, as well as the noblewoman Jacqueline de Broglie, with whom Basil develops a complicated romantic relationship amid the backdrop of military conflict. The opening of the novel describes the military situation as British forces prepare to make an assault on the fortified city of St. Malo, highlighting the tension between the invaders and the local populace who are caught in between. Basil, who has previously saved Jacqueline, finds himself embroiled in both a skirmish against the French Hussars and a struggle for survival after being separated from his troops. He later ends up recovering in a chateau where he is nursed by Angelique, Jacqueline's companion. As the narrative unfolds, it introduces themes of honor, sacrifice, love, and the harsh realities of war, setting the stage for a richly woven tale of human emotion against a historical backdrop.
