Excellent dio Randy! "C'est magnifique et très oriental !".
2 great Napoleonic action thrillers that I am sure you will enjoy if you like this period is "Napoléon's Pyramids" and its sequel "The Rosetta Key" written by William Dietrich. It's all about Napoléon, his Egyptian campaign including the scientific part and some secrets hidden in the mysterious Giza pyramids...Very well written and entertaining!
