Part high-octane suspense, part dire warning, The Eagle and the Viper from multiple-winning novelist Loren D. Estleman reveals an how close our world came--at the dawn of a promising new century--to total war. It' s a time of improvised explosive devices, terrorist training camps, international assassins, and war on civilians. It' s Christmas Eve, 1800. This much is history: On Christmas Eve, 1800, an "infernal machine" exploded in one of the busiest streets in Paris, France, destroying buildings and killing innocent civilians. It wasn' t the first attempt on the life of Napoleon Bonaparte, First Consul of the newly minted Republic of France. This much is exclusive to our story: Upon the failure of the Christmas Eve plot, the conspiracy takes a new and more diabolical turn. Posterity knows what became of Napoleon: He led France into a series of military adventures that ended in his defeat, followed by decades of peace. But this future hung on a precarious thread. One man can make history; another can change it.
"Fascinating premise of this standout novel. . . Estleman demonstrates that his versatility extends to mastery of multiple genres. " --Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A beautifully written book that is filled with historical accuracy, The Eagle and The Viper is a page-turner. " --Mystery and Suspense Magazine "Estleman mixes historical fact and fiction together so seamlessly that it' s impossible, unless you' re a scholar of French history, to know where one leaves off and the other begins. . . A fine novel, rich in historical detail and boasting a clever plot. . . He delivers a first-rate historical thriller. " --Booklist
