It is an act that will profoundly affect his destiny. Despite hard times, Nathan and his wife Amy adopt Jean Paul and bring him up with their own son. Nathan considers a return to the ring in the struggle to make a living and keep the ancient house in the family. But events conspire to involve him in a royalist intrigue that eventually leads to Paris, where a beautiful marquise and a dashing count sow the seeds both of tragedy and renewed hope. Ernest Victor Thompson MBE (1931-2012,) was a prolific author of historical novels. Thompson served in the Royal Navy for nine years and then joined the Bristol Police. He later became the chief security officer for the Department of Aviation in Rhodesia. In 1970 he moved to Cornwall to concentrate on being an author. A scarce book, scarce signed.
