A tour-de-force of historical imagination, this is the story of three young men at the dawn of the French Revolution. Georges-Jacques Danton: zealous, energetic, debt-ridden. Maximilien Robespierre: small, diligent, terrified of violence. And Camille Desmoulins: a genius of rhetoric, charming, handsome, but erratic and untrustworthy. As these key figures of the French Revolution taste the addictive delights of power, they must also come to face the horror that follows.

Really daring attempt to combine the complex events of the French Revolution and the many people behind it in a single novel. The history is well researched, but the many figures and facts presented can also make this a challenging read. Full-cast radio plays that have been based on the novel are more accessible.
