Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'General Crack' is a sweeping historical adventure set against the backdrop of 18th-century European dynastic struggles. The story follows the enigmatic and formidable Christian Rudolph, better known as 'General Crack,' a brilliant mercenary commander whose military genius makes him the most sought-after soldier of his age. When he strikes a monumental bargain to support the Holy Roman Emperor, he finds himself thrust into a world of high-stakes diplomacy, courtly intrigue, and the brutal realities of war.Written with atmospheric detail and narrative flair, the work explores themes of loyalty, power, and the personal cost of greatness. As the protagonist navigates the treacherous waters of imperial politics, he must also contend with a tumultuous private life and the conflicting demands of his own code of honor. This compelling narrative captures the elegance and the violence of the Enlightenment era, offering a vivid portrait of a man whose legend was forged on the battlefield and tested in the halls of power.
