December 1803: A French invasion fleet is poised to cross the
Channel and storm the beaches of southern England. A member of
Napoleon's inner circle-disaffected by Napoleon's creeping
tyranny-contacts the British naval intelligence service in hopes of
defecting to London. His escape plan calls for a rendezvous at an
international chess tournament in Frankfurt-a rare opportunity for
him to travel outside France. Naval intelligence sends its top
man-and best chess player-Captain Thomas Grey, to orchestrate the
Frenchman's escape to England. But Grey's mission changes
dramatically when the defector demands that his pro-Napoleon
daughter come with him-expecting Grey to act not just as escort but
kidnapper. The second novel in J. H. Gelernter's already lauded
Captain Grey series, Captain Grey's Gambit continues a story that
is "smart, fast, twisty, and dangerous" (Lee Child) in a "richly
imagined early nineteenth-century world" (Richard Snow).
