編輯推薦:It's Portsmouth, England, 1800, and 13-year-old Peter Raven boards the olphin as a midshipman. In Paris, General Ancre, head of France's secret service, meets with Napoleon and is sent as an envoy to the extremely wealthy, appallingly sadistic, and quite mad Count Vallon on his Caribbean island. In the backwoods of the Hudson Valley, Lucy Cosgrove, a beautiful, rich young American who has just run away from her school in New York, learns that she must put aside her aspirations to attend Princeton, as she is being sent to Europe. These characters and many others converge on Paris, where the plot thickens and roils, complicated by deception. Both Peter and Lucy's stories--along with those of the adults--play out on a very broad stage of international intrigue. Molloy's evident (sometimes too evident) research contributes to the convincing portrayal of the period setting. A long, heroic seafaring adventure.
內(nèi)容簡介:It is the time of the Napoleonic Wars. Peter Raven is a bright young midshipman in the Royal Navy of Great Britain. Raven, along with the swashbuckling secret agent Commodore Beaumont, uncovers a reckless scheme devised by none other than Napoleon Bonaparte. Eager to add America to his empire, Napoleon has made a wicked pact with a murderous pirate known as Count Vallon: In exchange for the pirate's gold, Napoleon will name Vallon "King of America"! Raven, Beaumont, and a beautiful young American heiress, Lucy, must do whatever it takes to put a stop to one of history's most audacious plots!
作者簡介:MICHAEL MOLLOY is the author of The Witch Trade, The Time Witches, Wild West Witches, and The House on Falling Star Hill. He lives in London, England.
