Publisher's Summary
NAPOLEON: EMPEROR OF FRANCE, MASTER OF EUROPE.
1812. On the eve of the invasion of Russia, half-French, half-English Matthieu Carrey finds himself in the ranks of Napoleon's five hundred thousand strong army. With Tsar Alexander seemingly ill-prepared, a French victory seems certain. The Grande Armée will obliterate everything in its path.
Carrey's purpose is less clear. Blackmailed into becoming a spy in the emperor's army, he hopes to follow his lover, a French actress who has gone to work in the Moscow theatre.
As supplies grow scarce and temperatures plummet, the Grande Armée begins to crumble. Caught up in the maelstrom of war, Carrey embarks on an epic journey, while the Russians circle him like hungry wolves.
Hundreds of miles lie between Carrey and safety.
To reach it seems utterly impossible.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Narration affected the story
I love Ben Kane's work and eagerly downloaded the book minutes after it's release . The narration was plodding and I hoped speeding it up a notch might help. It did a little but the pronunciation of simple French names and phrases was so poor it consistently put me off. A spy who pronounced the T in Du Pont or addressed a gentleman as "mon soor" would have been unmasked before he left the dock in France. The editing was obvious and a little amateur. The book was simply too big for the narrator. I want to read more about the character but please consider the narration.

Do you love duels?
Listening to this book felt like homework. I’ve listen to a number of Ben’s books and for the most part have enjoyed them. Not the case at all with this book. I couldn’t believe how many times he went to the duel well. It seemed rushed. Still have two hours to go and not looking forward to it.
