Christmas Eve 1800. The streets of Paris were crowded with citizens. Some were shopping, some were eating and drinking. But others were plotting to murder the most powerful man in the world. Their target was the coach carrying Napoleon Bonaparte, who had seized power the year before. The terrorists belonged to the royal faction and, although they failed to kill Napoleon, their atrocity hurled political violence in a new direction: a now familiar place where bombs in packed streets are the agents of terror. This book sets the scene with Napoleon's coup and follows the cell of extremists as they prepare their plans and devise a weapon that became known as the Infernal Machine.
