Napoleon is thirty years old in November 1799, and about to lead France into a new century as First Consul. At Notre Dame in five years he will be crowned Emperor of France, and Josephine his Empress. His legendary journey has begun.

In this brilliant combination of history and imagination, Max Gallo takes us from the first day after Napoleon's successful coup through to the thrilling heights of his empire. From the introduction of the new constitution and France's fragile peace with its neighbors, to Napoleon's determination to bring Britain to its knees, we follow five years of the Little Corporal's life, ending with his victory on the battlefield at Austerlitz.

A phenomenal success in Europe: NAPOLEON: THE SUN OF AUSTERLITZ is the second in Max Gallo's enthralling quartet of novels. He traces Napoleon's every step, revealing the extraordinary intelligence and military genius of the man, and bringing to life the dramatic and conspiratorial politics of post-revolutionary France.
