Masters's trilogy of ''Now God Be Thanked'', ''Heart of War'', and ''In The Green of the Spring'' has some claim to be considered his magnum opus, covering the changes to various segments of British society wrought by the upheavals of the [[World War I|First World War]].<ref>''The Ravi Lancers'' is also set in the First World War, but concerns the exploits of an Indian regiment, the commander of which is related to the Savage family.</ref> Masters's book ''Man of War'' appears to have been the first of a planned trilogy on the Second World War; however, the author died before any other connected books were published.{{citation needed|date=February 2021}}

The 1959 ''Fandango Rock'', written in between the Indian books, is an exception – its plot being set in the [[Fascism|fascist]] [[Francoist Spain|Spain]] ruled by [[Francisco Franco|General Franco]] and focusing on the [[Spain–United States relations|relationship between the American and Spanish governments]].{{citation needed|date=February 2021}}
