Series: Bloody Jack Adventures | Publication Date: May 24, 2010
The infamous pirate, riverboat seductress, master of disguise, and street-urchin-turned-sailor Jacky Faber has been captured by the French and beheaded in full view of her friends and crew.
Inconceivable? Yes! The truth is she’s secretly forced to pose as an American dancer behind enemy lines in Paris, where she entices a French general into revealing military secrets—all to save her dear friends. Then, in intrepid Jacky Faber style, she dons male clothing and worms her way into a post as galloper with the French army, ultimately leading a team of men to fight alongside the great Napoleon.

Yet another great adventure for our beloved Jacky, read, once again, most amazingly by Ms. Kellgren. What fun this story is, and now, along with much more French, Katherine adds German to the list of languages, accents, and dialects she treats us to! Just wonderful. Vive Bloody Jack!
