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 secretsâ??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.… (more)

This series gets more and more ludicrous as it goes on, but I CAN'T STOP. I liked this one more than the last one (the Mississippi one), even though Jacky continues to test the limits of what can be described as faithfulness to Jaimy. ( )

Charming to step back into this world after so many years. ( )

Another wonderful book in the Bloody Jack series. I really really want to keep reading the series, but my library doesn't have any more after this one. I might have to break down and just buy them on my nook this summer if the library doesn't get them in by then. ( )

More over-the-top adventures of Jacky Faber. She is thrown into the thick of one of Napoleon's campaigns by way of the British Intelligence. Usually I don't mind the anachronistic flow of narrative, but did she say "suck it up"? - Hmmmph. Also I was a little creeped out when one character lingered on the description of her tiny waist, enhanced by the fact that she'd had some ribs broken in the past. Sorry to complain - I did enjoy it quite a lot, though it was not one of my favorite Jacky stories. ( )

Another fun adventure in the Jacky Faber series. Jacky is over the top, but that's what makes her fun. This one required more stretches of the imagination, but I enjoyed reading how she managed to get herself entangled in the Napoleonic War. I'm looking forward to the next episode. ( )

"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
The sixth book in the Bloody Jack series, My Bonny Light Horseman sees Jacky captured by the British at last. But rather than send her to Newgate, she's sent to France to spy on Napoléon. Adventure comes to Jacky as usual, and she finds herself as a member of the French army and off to war on land, rather than sea.
