Summary
Napoleon and Wellington are one of history's most fascinating pairings, vividly symbolising the adversarial nature of French and English relations in the 17th century. Simon Scarrow brings this revolutionary time to life in this vivid historical account.
Fire and Sword is the pause-resisting third novel in Simon Scarrow's best-selling Wellington and Napoleon Quartet. A must-listen for fans of Robert Harris.
It's 1804. Napoleon Bonaparte is emperor of France, his ultimate aim to rule Europe. After defeat at the Battle of Trafalgar, he wins a glorious victory against Austria at Austerlitz. He then deposes the Spanish king and places his own brother on the throne. But he is yet to triumph over his most hated enemy: Great Britain.
Arthur Wellesley (the future Duke of Wellington) throws himself into the British campaign in Europe. After glory in Portugal, he commands the army in a series of triumphant battles across Spain. For those living reluctantly under French rule, his victories suggest that Napoleon's progress is not inexorable: freedom can be restored....

Brilliant!
I have had an interest in this historical period for many years. I wish this trilogy of books had been written earlier as they provide both a grand sweep of the life and times of Wellington and Napoleon as well as fascinating details. All three books are brilliantly crafted and completely held my attention over many hours of listening.
But them all! Enjoy them!

TV?... What's that?
It has been four days since I've watched TV as I have near continuously listened up to and including this, the third of four in the series. Volume four here I come. The world may end but I may miss it, totally absorbed as I am.
Mr Scarrow? The best so far I feel.

Another fine historical offering
If you know the series then you know exactly what to expect. More of the same high quality writing and research
If you don't know these books then you need to look at the first in the aeries
