From the jacket flap
Napoleon has weathered the storms of battle with a toughness that has become like a second skin, with the Rattler, a horse who s as flinty and seasoned as he. But this time, Napoleon can t control one of his young soldiers who has a penchant for reckless, dramatic actions and who singlehandedly, in his desire to prove himself, makes a move that is the beginning of the end. Before long, Napoleon s patrol is at the mercy of an enemy who is intent not only on killing Napoleon s men but on something much bigger: avenging a brutal act.
Robert Olmstead describes the experience of battle so viscerally that the reader feels the fear, the danger, and the dread. With the precision of a master, he tells the harrowing and transfixing story of the last of these intrepid warriors.
