Product Information
In The Barbed Crown , the sixth tale of rogue and adventurer Ethan Gage by William Dietrich, our hero returns to Paris and London. Against a background of imperial pomp and the gathering clouds of war, Gage plots revenge on Napoleon Bonaparte for the kidnap of his son. Paris, the "City of Lights," shines - but alongside its splendor is great squalor. Heroic patriotism rubs against mean ambition, while grand strategy and back-alley conspiracy are never far apart. While Ethan spies on the French court, his wife, Astiza, works to sabotage Napoleon's coronation using the Crown of Thorns, a legendary relic said to have come from the Crucifixion itself. But when Napoleon is crowned nonetheless, they flee to England. At Walmer Castle on the English coast, Gage joins a daring campaign by Smith, Fulton, rocket inventor William Congreve and smuggler Tom Johnstone to halt Napoleon's intended invasion of England - a campaign which leads Ethan to take a role in the Battle of Trafalgar itself...

Reviews
"Ethan Gage is not a man to let the grass grow under his feet. A non-stop page-turning adventure of wit, entertaining history, and characters who roll with the punches of fate." -- Diana Gabaldon, author of the Outlander series "Gage's roguish charm is in full bloom, and The Barbed Crown is still a page-turning delight." -- Seattle Times "Utilizing his trademark combination of wit, wile, and homespun American common sense, Ethan successfully integrates himself into the sophisticated intrigue of the Old World." -- Booklist "Rich in historical detail. . . . The battle of Trafalgar is narrated magnificently. There are also plots, twists, and counterplots along with searches for religious relics . . . Historical fiction fans will relish this over-the-top romp as they wallow in the color and the history." -- Library Journal "Brilliantly conceived and crafted from the first word. Dietrich puts great characters in seemingly impossible scenarios on every page. A fun, fast, exhilarating read. I haven't read a historical novel this good since Ken Follet's Pillars of the Earth ." -- Robert Dugoni, author of The Conviction "Dietrich's creation Ethan Gage is no typical action hero. . . . Dietrich has the Gage series down to a formula, blending history with entertaining tall tales and a good deal of irreverence." -- Kirkus Reviews "I am a big fan of William Dietrich's Ethan Gage novels and The Barbed Crown is a great addition to the series. Gage is a rascal and he's in trouble again. . . . An exciting, funny, and educational read." -- Phillip Margolin, author of Capitol Murder "What a blast! The Barbed Crown is as funny as it is smart. . . . It is impossible not to love Ethan Gage. It is impossible not to love this book!" -- Garth Stein, author of The Art of Racing in the Rain "Exuberant . . . . Along the way readers will be treated to Dietrich's fascinating historical detail and Gage's infectious personality, one part humble global servant and two parts self-directed opportunist who simply has to be where the action is." -- Publishers Weekly "Those looking for historical romances for summer reading need look no further. Dietrich manages to turn what is normally a maudlin or mediocre genre into a tight, suspenseful joy ride. Here's to the further adventures of the Gages and to what will surely be a movie hero." -- Examiner.com "If you like your swordplay spiced with a dash of witty repartee, a la The Three Musketeers , then Gage is the hero for you...The battles, plots and counterplots make this a delightful read, and the depiction of Napoleonic Paris is excellent. Recommended." -- Historical Novel Society Review "William Dietrich's prose is so vivid in his description of early nineteenth century naval tactics that the reader may experience a touch of mal de mer. But through the carnage and rolling waves, Dietrich's fans will not stop cheering on the lovable gambler." -- Iron Mountain Daily News "A swashbuckling adventure novel. . . . Description of war on the high seas is rarely better than in this novel." -- San Antonio Express-News "Bill Dietrich offers another gem in The Barbed Crown . . . . Dietrich delivers with style, zest, and cliffhanger endings." -- Bellingham Herald, A swashbuckling adventure novel. . . .
