BOOK DESCRIPTION:
In the employ of Britain's Secret Office, Jerrold is sent
to America on a simple mission. With serious rumors of a threatening
conspiracy brewing, the government is in desperate need of help and Jerrold
is their man. His task is simple: infiltrate the conspirators and stop them
at all costs.
Leaving the shores of England, his journey will take him across
pirate-infested seas, through the American wilderness, and down the mighty
Mississippi River. Enemies are ranged against him---agents of Spain and
America are trying to kill him, and the plotters are growing suspicious of
his intentions. Then there is the lovely Miss Lyell, who seems to have her
own plans for Lieutenant Jerrold.
His instructions ring in his ears: find out what the conspirators intend and
stop it. But as each bumbling step takes Jerrold further into danger, he
slowly realizes that his very presence within the conspiracy could be the
spark that ignites a disastrous war between England and America.
The stakes are high---the entire future of Britain's war against Napoleon
rests in his not-so-capable hands. One wrong move and the consequences would
be catastrophic, even by Jerrold's own lamentable standards.
British naval officer Martin Jerrold missed the Battle of Trafalgar (drunk
in his ship's hold in The Blighted Cliffs) and let a prisoner escape during
his command of a prison ship (in Chains of Albion). For his third outing,
Jerrold, who narrates with speed and humor, is pressed into service by
British spies. From a courier, the spies have stolen a letter they suspect
concerns conspiracy-one that could draw Britain and the newly birthed U.S.
into war. Jerrold agrees to deliver the letter, infiltrate the conspiracy
and find a way to frustrate the scheme. Joined by an enigmatic and beautiful
young woman he meets on the transatlantic crossing, Jerrold plunges
"headlong into the American wilderness" in September of 1806. The purloined
letter leads Jerrold to an island in the Ohio River and former American vice
president Aaron Burr, who hopes to revive his fortunes by invading Mexico
and forging "a new empire on America's border" with the help of English
benefactors. As Burr's expedition floats down the Mississippi toward New
Orleans, Jerrold races to stop Burr's delusional scheme and prevent a
devastating conflict between England and the U.S.
