Exploits and adventures of Brigadier Gerard - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Having killed off Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle began a new series of tales
on a very different theme. Brigadier Gerard is an officer in Napoleon's army--recklessly
brave, engagingly openhearted, and unshakable, if not a little absurd, in his devotion
to the enigmatic Emperor. The Brigadier's wonderful comic adventures, long established
in the affections of Conan Doyle's admirers as second only to those of the incomparable
Holmes, are sure to find new devotees among the ardent fans of such writers as Patrick
O'Brian and George MacDonald Fraser.
