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. ( ) 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. no reviews | add a review
