napoleon's comet

Napoleon’s Comet is a richly atmospheric tale set on a bleak September night in 1811, where superstition, war, and duty collide on the marshes of Essex. When two weary soldiers spot a mysterious glow in the sky — and a suspicious light in the reeds — they must decide whether to raise the alarm or trust their instincts. A ghostly comet, smuggled contraband, and the chill of the third watch weave together in this tense, slyly humorous story of loyalty and quiet defiance.
