One of the great masters of narrative' SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE - 'A master of the genre' NEW YORK TIMES Prinzen Palace, Dresden, May 1812. The room is a vast oblong, lit by an immense number of candles, reflecting over and over again in the mirrors on the walls. Everything in the room appears to gleam and glitter in a feverish, furious manner; the mirrors, the furniture, the lace on the mens' uniforms and the jewels on the womens' breasts. As the beautiful young Hungarian, Marie de Brezeny, is presented to the French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, the chess-piece is in play. A PAWN AMONG KINGS is a grand historical epic of Napoleon's invasion of Russia, of scheming diplomats and seething passions, the blood and canon-smoke of Borodino and Leipzig. ABOUT THE AUTHOR C.S. Forester was the pen name of Cecil Louis Troughton Smith, the English historical novelist who rose to fame and over eight million book sales, through his literary creation, Horatio Hornblower, a introverted, self-doubting English sea captain.

His other notable works include THE AFRICAN QUEEN (1935), made into the iconic Hollywood film starring Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn, and THE GOOD SHEPHERD (1955) filmed as GREYHOUND in 2020 starring Tom Hanks.
