Full of pageantry and drama,larger-than-life passions,and the clash of war,COURAGE is set during the height of the French Revolution. Napoleon Bonaparte is still waiting in the wings to stride on to the historical stage and the warships of the great British navy rule the seas.Sidney Smith finds himself on a mission to France,and falls in love with a young aristocratic girl,who,along with her family,is destined for the guillotine.On one level the events which unfold thereafter are an adventure story,on another,the tale of a secret conspiracy to change the world for good,but more important than either,the book tells of a man and a woman whose forbidden love sustains them throughout a time of revolution and terror,whose trust in their respective destinies is strong enough to overcome all,and to bring love out of evil.
