The battle for Empire rages across EgyptThe thrilling second novel
in the William John Hazzard series, following Napoleon's Run.
Malta, June 1798. Captured by the French after hurling himself into
enemy ranks, Hazzard is now a prisoner of his arch-nemesis,
spycatcher Citizen Derrien, but has uncovered the true purpose of
Napoleon's armada: the conquest of Egypt. Their bold plan is to cut
open the ancient Suez Canal to the Red Sea and attack India, the
jewel in England's crown. The survival of nations in the balance,
Nelson scours the Mediterranean for the French in vain. If Hazzard
can't convince Admiralty Intelligence of a desperate plan, an
ancient world will be lost for ever. But help comes from an
unexpected quarter: the missing Admiralty agent... As French
cannons roar in the desert sands and the Mamluk cavalry sweeps in
to attack, Hazzard fights to prevent a lost cause turning into
tragedy. From the shores of Malta to the epic encounter at the
Battle of the Nile - this is the explosive beginning of the French
conquest of Egypt. Never give up the boat. Praise for Jonathan
Spencer'Stupendous... Lords of the Nile has such a breathtakingly
frenetic plot that I found myself getting faster and faster in my
reading, tearing through the pages, only to realise that I was
trying to match the pace of the characters and the plot. It is so
immersive you can't help but be sucked into it, swept away by it,
pushed to tears by it and utterly enthralled by it. 'Jonathan
Spencer is now one of my "Must read" authors, a
drop-what-you're-doing-(or whatever else you are
reading)-and-read-it-now writer. My favourite book this year.'
Parmenion Books on Lords of the Nile 'This is an outstanding novel,
made even more remarkable by its debut status. Better than Sharpe,
gripping and intense, Napoleon's Run deserves to be a runaway
success' Ben Kane, Sunday Times bestselling author of Lionheart on
Napoleon's Run 'Hornblower meets Mission: Impossible. A thrilling,
page-turning debut packed with rousing, rip-roaring action' J. D.
Davies, author of the Matthew Quinton Journals on Napoleon's Run
