Fleeting Glory
More Battles, Boudoirs and Bedsports. In the gripping sequel to Glory Beckons, three very different men find themselves in the collapse of Napoleonās empire.
Marshal Ney, Napoleonās famous āBravest of the Braveā, is at the height of his illustrious career, with a secret that could destroy the Emperorās infallible reputation. Sir Robert Wilson, an English general and diplomat, harbours a hatred of Bonaparte, determined to be the man who assassinates him. Michael Bruce, a young hedonistic Etonian, has little interest in Napoleonās ambitions, apart from when they interrupt his travels and erotic adventures. The exciting, dangerous, and intertwining lives of these three men give them ringside seats to the end of a conflict that tore Europe apart and defined the shape of the world for the next century.
Opening with Napoleonās fateful entry into Russia and his advance towards Moscow, following the famous retreat through a Russian winter, and ending in the aftermath of Waterloo, Fleeting Glory is a non-stop page turner. Its racy depiction of gory battles, immoral court life, and elegant lifestyles tells what it was really like for those caught in the finale of an empire.
