England has relied on court whispers, ballroom plots and gold payments for intelligence during past wars, but Napoleon Bonaparte's ascension has shown the need for something more. It is the dawn of British secret service, and no map reveals the path for this new type of espionage. Some early steps are taken in 1802 by Lieutenant Philip Collier, an outcast lacking patronage to advance his military career. He accepts a covert assignment inside France, seeing a chance for glory and promotion, but his exuberance leads to a series of stumbles. He is left stranded in Paris, searching for crucial information while being pursued by Napoleon's secret police. Acting alone, as A Solitaire, he somehow must succeed in his mission and find his way home.
