December 1803: A French invasion fleet is poised to cross the Channel and storm the beaches of southern England. One of Napoleon' s top advisors-disaffected by the Corsican' s tyranny-contacts the British naval intelligence service in hopes of defecting to London. His escape plan calls for a rendezvous at an international chess tournament in Frankfurt; a rare opportunity for him to travel outside France. Naval intelligence sends its top man and best chess player, Captain Thomas Grey, to orchestrate the advisor' s escape to England. But Grey' s mission changes dramatically when the defector demands that his pro-Napoleon daughter come with him-expecting Grey to act not just as escort, but kidnapper. The second novel in J. H Gelernter' s already-lauded Thomas Grey series, Captain Grey' s Gambit continues a story that is "smart, fast, twisty, and dangerous" (Lee Child) in a "richly imagined early nineteenth-century world" (Richard Snow).

#02: Captain Grey's Gambit

"[A] superior sequel to 2021' s Hold Fast. . . . Gelernter' s clever premise matches his well-rounded and plausible lead, and vivid depictions of the developments in the conflict between England and France enhance the suspenseful espionage plot. " -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "In the second book of his Captain Grey series. . . Gelernter continues to distinguish his character from his literary influences, chief among them Ian Fleming' s James Bond, with deliberate flourishes. . . . [M]any rich historical details. . . populate the novel with obvious care. " -- Kirkus Reviews
J. H. Gelernter lives in Connecticut. He is the author of the Captain Grey novels, Hold Fast and Captain Grey' s Gambit.
