Louis de Laval, an exile raised in England, crosses the Channel by smuggler’s lugger in answer to a letter from his uncle, once a village attorney and now master of the family’s confiscated estate of Grosbois. On the salt-marshes near Boulogne he finds treachery, secret passages and the camp of the army gathered to invade England, and is brought before Napoleon himself.
A brisk Napoleonic adventure with a memorable portrait of the Emperor, for fans of Brigadier Gerard. Download the free EPUB.
