Publisher's summary

NAPOLEON: EMPEROR OF FRANCE, MASTER OF EUROPE.

1812. On the eve of the invasion of Russia, half-French, half-English Matthieu Carrey finds himself in the ranks of Napoleon's five hundred thousand strong army. With Tsar Alexander seemingly ill-prepared, a French victory seems certain. The Grande Armée will obliterate everything in its path.

Carrey's purpose is less clear. Blackmailed into becoming a spy in the emperor's army, he hopes to follow his lover, a French actress who has gone to work in the Moscow theatre.

As supplies grow scarce and temperatures plummet, the Grande Armée begins to crumble. Caught up in the maelstrom of war, Carrey embarks on an epic journey, while the Russians circle him like hungry wolves.

Hundreds of miles lie between Carrey and safety.

To reach it seems utterly impossible.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

confusing and not the best from ben kane.

Was expecting a lot more from Ben Kane's first book relating to napoleon. Missed a great opportunity to deliver one of his great book.series. Difficult to see where the story is going. Too much timing about surviving in the snow and too little of history...
