From the shores of Malta to the epic encounter at the Battle of the Nile - this is the explosive beginning of the French conquest of Egypt. Never give up the boat. Praise for Jonathan Spencer'Stupendous... Lords of the Nile has such a breathtakingly frenetic plot that I found myself getting faster and faster in my reading, tearing through the pages, only to realise that I was trying to match the pace of the characters and the plot. It is so immersive you can't help but be sucked into it, swept away by it, pushed to tears by it and utterly enthralled by it. 'Jonathan Spencer is now one of my "Must read" authors, a drop-what-you're-doing-(or whatever else you are reading)-and-read-it-now writer. My favourite book this year.' Parmenion Books on Lords of the Nile'This is an outstanding novel, made even more remarkable by its debut status. Better than Sharpe, gripping and intense, Napoleon's Run deserves to be a runaway success' Ben Kane, Sunday Times bestselling author of Lionheart on Napoleon's Run'Hornblower meets Mission: Impossible. A thrilling, page-turning debut packed with rousing, rip-roaring action' J. D. Davies, author of the Matthew Quinton Journals on Napoleon's Run
