Pierre Burns of Baltimore, Maryland was brought up to hate the English but never thought he would be able to do anything about it. In early 1804, stranded on a French shore in the midst of Napoleon's Army as it prepares to invade England, Burns is given his chance when Marshal Michel Ney offers him a commission. Now in the uniform of a French officer but still an outsider, Burns stands ready to battle his way to London, but it remains to be seen who his real enemies are-the English, his fellow soldiers who resent his presence, or even his American countrymen.
