Reviews
"In its pages you will find adventure, action, romance, love and self-sacrifice, hair's-breadth escape and reckless courage, gallantry, panache and a droll, backhand humor that rivals that of P.G. Wodehouse. You will also find yourself, even more than with the celebrated stories of Holmes and Watson, in the hands of an indisputable artist. For more than any other adventure stories I know, these stories have a power to move the reader." - Michael Chabon on NPR's "You Must Read This" "…One of the cleverest of Conan Doyle's lighter works, full of spirit, ingenuity, and drollery." - The New York Times "Brigadier Gerard is, after Holmes and Watson, Conan Doyle's most successful literary creation." - Julian Symons, "In its pages you will find adventure, action, romance, love and self-sacrifice, hair's-breadth escape and reckless courage, gallantry, panache and a droll, backhand humor that rivals that of P.G.

Synopsis
Having killed off Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle began a new series of tales on a very different theme. Brigadier Gerard is an officer in Napoleon's army-ecklessly brave, engagingly openhearted, and unshakable, if not a little absurd, in his devotion to the enigmatic Emperor. The Brigadier's wonderful comic adventures, long established in the affections of Conan Doyle's admirers as second only to those of the incomparable Holmes, are sure to find new devotees among the ardent fans of such writers as Patrick O'Brian and George MacDonald Fraser., Having killed off Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle began a new series of tales on a very different theme.

      A funny historic read

      This book is a collection of short stories about a French cavalry officer in the Napoleonic Wars. Gerard, the main character, is Doyle's second best known creation, and Doyle's personal favorite. In the book, Gerard is the best sword fighter and horse rider in Napoleon's army. He always saves the day, but is not always smart in how he does it. Gerard's blunders and naivety gives the book a comical sense, but action is still on the front. The book is written from Gerard's point of view when he is older. I gave this book a 5 star rating because of how well it is written and because of the humor it contains. Overall, this is one of the better books I have read.
