This is the first of Dennis Wheatley's famous historical series in which appears the young man who was afterwards to become Prime Minister Pitt's most resourceful secret agent: Roger Brook. The scene is the England of George III and the France of Marie Antoinette; the tale is that of the tall, blue-eyed Roger, who set out to seek fame and fortune in the year 1783.
He might never have set out at all had it not been for his ravishing neighbour, the delectable Georgina Thursby, and he most certainly would never have been involved in the secrets of French foreign policy had it not been for the fair AthΓ©nais de Rochambeau; but in this perfect coming of age story we see naivety, love, temptation and adventure propelling us cross-country, with a host of surprising and unexpected characters.
