The year is 1803. Swashbuckling, ribald, and irreverent hero
Ethan Gage has outsmarted wily enemies and survived dangerous
challenges across the globe, from the wilds of the American
frontier to the pyramids of Egypt. Now the rakish hero finds
himself in the Caribbean with his wife, Astiza, on a desperate hunt
to secure the lost treasure of Montezuma--a legendary hoard rumored
to have been hidden from Cortes's plundering Spanish conquistadors.
Hot on his heels are British agents who want the gold to finance a
black slave revolt in Saint-Domingue, robbing hostile France of its
richest colony. The French, too, seek the treasure for the secrets
it contains, the key to an incredible new means of invasion that
can ensure Britain's defeat--on its own land.
Caught between the French and the rebel slave forces, Ethan and
Astiza are in a race for gold and glory that will thrust them into
the center of a bloody struggle for freedom as they try to rescue
their son. And this time, Gage's luck may be running out.
Brilliantly combining science, history, mythology, and wit,
William Dietrich has woven a larger-than-life tale that sees Ethan
embroiled in the Napoleonic era's ideals, opportunism, and
inventions, which gave rise to the modern world. Filled with
intrigue, voodoo, a hurricane, violent political unrest, and
unexpected passion, The Emerald Storm is Dietrich's most
captivating work to date.
