About this book

The vain, brave, and endlessly boastful Brigadier Etienne Gerard, a dashing officer in Napoleon's army, recounts his outrageous adventures across the battlefields and intrigues of Europe with irresistible swagger and comic bravado. Doyle created in Gerard one of literature's most delightful soldiers—gallant, absurd, and utterly loyal to his Emperor. Blending swashbuckling action with sly humor, these linked tales gallop through duels, escapes, and daring exploits during the Napoleonic Wars. Witty, fast, and thoroughly entertaining, The Adventures of Gerard shows Conan Doyle's gift for character and adventure beyond Sherlock Holmes, delivering a hero whose vanity is matched only by his courage.
