My Bonny Light Horseman
Louis A. Meyer
The infamous pirate, riverboat seductress, master of disguise, and street-urchin-turned-sailor Jacky Faber has been captured by the French and beheaded in full view of her friends and crew.      Inconceivable? Yes! The truth is she’s secretly forced to pose as an American dancer behind enemy lines in Paris, where she entices a French general into revealing military secrets—all to save her dear friends. Then, in intrepid Jacky Faber style, she dons male clothing and worms her way into a post as galloper with the French army, ultimately leading a team of men to fight alongside the great Napoleon.

Profile Picture

In My Bonny Light Horseman, Jacky Faber faces many dangers such as a dangerous battle at sea and a close to death visit to the guillotine. She comes close to death many times and every time she wiggles her way out. When she is captured by her old enemy from British Intelligence, she is placed as a dancer in a nightclub to get secrets out of French officers who frequent there. She soon blows her cover though and is forced to follow Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte into war. The thing is, this time death might not let her go as easily.
