Time of Terror de Seth Hunter

Time of Terror

Autor Seth Hunter
en Limba Engleză Hardback – apr 2010
In the Time of Terror, friends turn against friends, patriots are betrayed, and lovers must pay the ultimate price.
1793: British navy commander Nathan Peake patrols the English coast, looking for smugglers. Desperate for some real action, Peake gets his chance when France declares war on England and descends into the bloody madness of the Terror. Peake is entrusted with a mission to wreck the French economy by smuggling fake banknotes into Paris. His activities take him down Paris streets patrolled by violent mobs and into the sinister catacombs beneath the French capital. And they bring him close to famous characters of the day: the English feminist Mary Wollstonecraft, her American lover Gilbert Imlay who acts as George Washington's agent in Paris, and the British/American writer and revolutionary Thomas Paine. As opposition to the Terror mounts, Peake fights to carry out his mission--and to save the life of the woman he loves.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Friends turn against friends, patriots are betrayed, and lovers must pay the ultimate price . . .

The first gripping naval thriller in Seth Hunter's historical adventure series is sure to enthral fans of Julian Stockwin and Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin novels.

'Rousing . . . a complex plot, written with wit, suspense, intrigue, and action' Publishers Weekly

1793: The French have killed their king and are about to embark on the violent period of bloodletting known as the Terror.

Brig-sloop Commander Nathan Peake is on smuggler patrol off the Sussex coast and desperate for some real action. As revolutionary France declares war on England, he seizes his chance. Peake is given a vital mission; to destroy the French economy by smuggling millions of French banknotes across the Channel and into the heart of Paris. His operation leads him from perilous seas to the Empire of the Dead - a labyrinth of catacombs under the French capital where bodies are buried, secrets hidden and plots hatched.

But as opposition to the Terror mounts, Peake is forced to leave Paris and join the storm-tossed British squadrons in the Atlantic in the first thunderous battle between the rival navies.

What readers are saying about THE TIME OF TERROR:

'Flowing prose, matching action-packed adventures both on land and at sea'

'A must-read for fans of naval historical fiction. Well researched and plotted with characters who really come alive'

'Full of humour and history and lust. A gripping tale, masterfully written'

Recenzii
