Burke at Waterloo (James Burke) Kindle Edition
‘There’s trouble in Paris. Bonapartists; plots; sedition. Wellesley needs a man who knows how to fit in. Find out what’s going on. That sort of thing.’
Napoleon is on Elba and Europe is at peace. But there's no rest for James Burke, His Majesty's Confidential Agent.
Burke's mission starts in a bar in Montmartre as he infiltrates the group plotting to assassinate the Duke of Wellington and kill the French king.
Pursuing his most deadly foe yet, he moves from the slums of Paris to the aristocratic salons of Brussels until the final showdown on the field of Waterloo, as French and British armies clash in the defining battle of the age.

About the author

Tom Williams used to write books for business. Now he writes novels set in the 19th century that are generally described as fiction but which are often more honest than the business books. (He writes contemporary fantasy as well, but that’s a dark part of his life, so you’ll have to explore that on your own – ideally with a friend and a protective amulet.)
His stories about James Burke (based on a real person) are exciting tales of high adventure and low cunning set around the Napoleonic Wars. The stories have given him the excuse to travel to Argentina, Egypt, and Spain and call it research.
Tom lives in London. His main interest is avoiding doing any honest work and this leaves him with time to ski, skate and dance tango, all of which (before covid) he thought he did quite well. In between he reads old books and spends far too much time looking at ancient weaponry.
Tom’s blogs appear regularly on his website, https://tomwilliamsauthor.co.uk where you can also find details of all his books. You can follow him on Twitter as @TomCW99 or Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/AuthorTomWilliams).

- Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2022I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. I was looking for a solid historical novel about Waterloo, and while it turned out far this book is more about the run-up to Waterloo, it is still an entertaining yarn that concludes with the battle, from the limited perspective of the protagonist. Definitely recommend.

3.0 out of 5 stars Run up to Waterloo and life in Brussels
Good read and it contained a fair amount of fact wound into the tale.
