The first in a series of 12 novels following the double life of Roger Brook, British secret agent and famous soldier in Napoleon's army. The series follows Roger from his last day at school through to and beyond the Battle of Waterloo. Full of vivid detail, key historical characters and daring adventure. This is the first historical novel that I recall reading. Little did I know what I was letting myself into when I picked it up to have something to read at a Chinese restaurant.
