Buy the book from:
England, 1805. Matthew Pryde is working as a mining engineer when officials recruit him for a mission across the Channel. Reports suggest that French experimenters are developing a weapon or machine connected with Napoleon’s preparations against Britain, and Pryde’s technical knowledge makes him a useful but inexperienced intelligence agent.
The adventure uses invasion anxiety and industrial innovation to connect workshops, mines and military espionage. Pryde must judge information supplied by people with divided loyalties while the renewed war turns engineering knowledge into a strategic resource.
