Napoleon escapes from Elba, and the fate of Europe hinges on a desperate mission ...
Napoleon, escaped from Elba, pursues his enemies across Europe like a vengeful phoenix. If he can corner the British and Prussians before their Russian and Austrian allies arrive, his genius will lead the French armies to triumph at Waterloo.
Stephen Maturin must ferret out the French dictator's secret link to the powers of Islam, and Jack Aubrey must destroy it.
Boldly conceived and brilliantly executed, The Hundred Days is Patrick O'Brian's most ambitious novel yet, and surely one of his most rewarding. In this climactic – but not final! – adventure in the celebrated Aubrey/Maturin series, O'Brian succeeds in grafting his familiar, ever compelling principal characters to an historical event of tumultuous significance: the final defeat of Napoleon.
The result is entertainment, excitement, and an intriguing exercise in what if ... history, all encompassed in a magnificently rounded and complex work of fiction.
'You are in for the treat of your lives. Thank God for Patrick O'Brian: his genius illuminates the literature of the English language.'
