Glory Beckons

Om boken

Battles, Boudoirs & Bedsports. Glory Beckons, the first of a two-part series, is set against the tumultuous backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars and drawn from real-life accounts. This action-packed character driven epic follows three very different men, whose lives become entwined from the moment Napoleon crowns himself Emperor, to the eve of his ill-fated Russian campaign.

Michel Ney: Napoleon’s “Bravest of the Brave”, legendary Marshal of France, with a fiery mistress who follows him through the chaos of war – while harbouring a secret that could bring down the Emperor himself.

Sir Robert Wilson: A sharp-elbowed British General and diplomat, whose relentless hatred of Napoleon fuels a dangerous ambition to kill him.

Michael Bruce: A dissolute Etonian playboy. Plucked from the erotic pleasures of the Grand Tour and thrown unwillingly into the maelstrom of Europe’s greatest conflict.

The fate of Europe is at stake, as well as love, honour and survival, but above all Glory. All dictated by the insatiable ambition, iconoclasm and ego of Napoleon Bonaparte.
