'An epic tale that never loses sight of the raw experience of the
hero. I loved Napoleon's Spy' Simon Scarrow 'Napoleon's Spy is a
tour de force on an epic scale' Douglas Jackson 'Exciting,
immersive, well researched and great fun.' Giles Kristian Russia,
1812. Has France finally met its match? 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 like hungry wolves. Hundreds of
miles lie between Carrey and safety. To reach it seems utterly
impossible.
