Publisher's Synopsis
1801. The battlefield victory at Marengo confirms Napoleon Bonaparte's rise to the First Consul of France. With peace forced upon Austria, Bonaparte now prepares to defeat France's ancient enemy, Britain.
Eight years of endless combat has depleted France of horses. Lieutenant Colonel André Jobert is sent to negotiate with the Ottoman Turks for their internationally prized warhorses. In a high-stakes contest on the Black Sea steppes, Jobert is trapped in a foreign land in the midst of four brutal and implacable enemies. If God Wills It is Jobert's fifth adventure as the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars rage across Europe. How will Jobert and his battle-hardened comrades travel so far with so much gold and return with so many horses?
