Web of the Eagle
Release date 01/15/2014
The turbulent 1860's. America is embroiled
in a bloody civil war. In a politically restless
Europe, Napoleon 3rd lays plans to
establish a foothold in the Americas, an
expansion of the French Empire that
threatens the stability of the western world.
A shadowy figure who calls himself "The
Eagle", using the oldest trick in the book,
weaves himself a web of influence over the
American
business
and
political
community, which is powerless to escape
his clutches. When his ambitions turn
toward Mexico, even Napoleon is drawn
into his trap.
From the American south-west to industrial
New England, from Washington high
society to the sweaty slums of New
Orleans, the predator expands his empire,
immune from the law. But the hunter
himself is being hunted by a figure from the
past, an avenger with a very personal score
to settle.
Subsequent travel and a later career in
construction while bringing up a family
enhanced his skills in storytelling, which
thrilled his children and grandchildren over
the years.
Now retired to the Sussex Coast with Ann,
his wife of 50 years, he is indulging his
passion for adventure and intrigue.
Among his soon to be published works are a
short murder mystery, entitled "Days of
Wine and Rosie" which has the unlikely
setting of a suburban nursing home.

A doctor's chance encounter makes him
suspect his adopted son may have an

twin…
These seemingly unrelated events lay the
groundwork for a tale of deceit and
treachery that brings to life a world of the
not-so-improbable future where the
achievements of man nullify the
debilitating effects of age, physical

itself. Led by an aging maniacal genius, a
