For three years Hector has been languishing in prison when, on the eve of Napoleon's coronation as Emperor of France, he learns what is to be his due. Stripped of his title, denied the honour of his family name as well as the hand of the woman he loves, he is freed by Napoleon on the condition that he serves in the imperial forces. So it is in profound despair that Hector embarks on a succession of daring escapades, courting death fearlessly. Again and again he wins glory -- against brigands, bandits, boa constrictors, sharks, tigers and crocodiles. At the Battle of Trafalgar it is his bullet that fells Nelson. But however far his adventures take him -- from Burma's jungles to the wilds of Ireland -- his destiny lies back in Paris with his father's enemy, Napoleon.--back cover 500 $a "The Last Cavalier" was originally published in France in 2005 under the title "Le Chevalier de Sainte-Hermine." 511 $a Prebble, Simon, 650 0 $a Soldiers $z France $v Fiction 651 0 $a France $x History $y 1789-1815 $v Fiction 655 7 $a Adventure stories $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026370 655 0 $a Classic Literature $v Audio Book $v Audio Book 700 1 $a Dumas, Alexandre, $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n86835991 700 $a Yoder, Lauren-translator 941 $a 1 952 $l REPC017 $d 20220831010137.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3C9DEDB028F211EDB398BB3D49ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
