Fiction
Having killed off Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
began a new series of tales on a very different theme.
Brigadier Gerard is an officer in Napoleon's army?recklessly
brave, engagingly openhearted, and unshakable, if not a
little absurd, in his devotion to the enigmatic Emperor. The
Brigadier's wonderful comic adventures, long established in
the affections of Conan Doyle's admirers as second only to
those of the incomparable Holmes, are sure to find new
devotees among the ardent fans of such writers as Patrick
O'Brian and George MacDonald Fraser.
