Opis

Lord Jack Dashwood and Sir Richard Atherton are two bored young thrill seekers who adventure under the nom de guerres of The Dashing Blade and Sir Darke. In the era of the French Revolution they are far from alone in adopting the mask and cape, but when England's Society of Adventurers is decimated, prompting their leader the enigmatic Lady Marmsey to recruit new blood, the Blade and Darke along with their friends in The League of the Dashing Blade may well be the only hope England has left. Intrigue, mystery, betrayal and high adventure follow as the new Society of Adventurers desperately try to complete their predecessor's mission to locate a young noblewoman hiding under threat of death somewhere in Revolutionary Paris. Unbeknownst even to herself, the Countess De Lillevere carries a message from the Society's master spy 'The Chameleon' - himself vanished over a year before. Only Lady Marmsey knows how to decipher the message and discover the true nature of the threat to these sceptred isles The threat in question is nothing less than a diabolical plan to unite the German states under the leadership of Baron Gunter Von Munchaus (grandson of the famous Baron Munchausen) and launch an attack on London using giant dirigible troop carrying balloons built a hundred years ahead of their time by the young genius Victor Frankenstein. Simultaneously a Scots Catholic revolt led by aging pretender Henry Stuart will march from the North while Spanish, French and German fleets attack in the South. England needs a hero. England needs ... The Dashing Blade
