About the author

Colonel Steger had two long careers which contributed greatly to Sebastian's story, a military one with many years abroad in Europe and Vietnam, from which much of the action and adventure emerged, and an academic one as a professor of history at the University of Saint Mary in Leavenworth, Kansas, in which the compassionate, philosophical, and romantic side of Sebastian was evoked. He is now Professor Emeritus at Saint Mary and writes from his home in rural Kansas.

[Tim Schiraldi · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a fantastic series! I thoroughly enjoyed the adventures of Sebastian and his stalwart band of friends as they were sent on one impossible mission after another. Sebastian never failed to serve his king / emperor, all the while doing his absolute best to convince him to "try another way" - Sebastian's way, even at the risk of his own freedom, and even his life.
