Jacky is taken on another adventure. This time it looks as if she really will be persecuted for her crimes. Her attempts at escape bring her into Napolean's army. She meets many new friends and sees so many old ones. This installment in the Jacky Faber series will not dissapoint. ( )

6th installment in Bloody Jack Adventure series.

While trying to run a respectable shipping business in 1806, teenaged Jacky Faber finds herself in France, spying for the British Crown in order to save her friends. (BCCLS)

Slow start, but the action definitely picks up. ( )

I can never get enough of young Jacky Faber and in this third installment we find her once again captured by the British for piracy, then she ends up in the hands of the French and even ends up a dancer for some bit of her travels. This girl has no end to male friends vying for her affection and her insistence on keeping her maidenhood until she marries her betrothed, one young Jaimy Fletcher, whom she rarely runs into. I love the spirit and endless energy of dear Jacky (along with her devious ways to maintain her maidenhood and still swoon some men into her company). I do hope this series never ends. ( )

More of the same for fans of the Bloody Jack series, who unwillingly becomes a British spy in Franc, where her loyalties are tested when she infiltrates Napoleon's army. Once again,her male admirers arrive in the nick of time to save Jacky from death or dishonor when she can't save herself. Speaking of saving herself, the margin by which she does so for marriage grows increasingly thin. ( )

What a brilliant rolicking adventure! There is so much packed into this book. I could not put it down, and could not help but become as smitten with Jacky as so many of the poor boys she encounters. ( )

"Is it not a glorious day to be alive, Higgins?" I ask, sitting on the hatch of my fleet little schooner, with my back to the aftermast and my legs sprawled out before me, looking up at the trim of the sails.

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0152061878, Hardcover)

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.
In this sixth installment of the Bloody Jack Adventures series, love and war collide as the irrepressible Jacky Faber sets off on a daring adventure she vowed she’d never take.
