A modern sailor is recruited by the Royal Navy and finds himself on the deck of HMS Imp rieuse in 1813, as she sails into battle against overwhelming odds. At stake are $10 billion in gold and the fate of the modern world. It is a moral tale, lighthearted and filled with action, rich in authentic historical and nautical detail. Napoleon's Gambit is set in exotic locations aboard the world's first self-sustaining, renewable energy powered yacht, and on old wooden warships. Its love-story, sword-fights, gripping sea-battles and storms at sea add tension to an unpredictable and satisfying plot.
