Synopsis

Jules Verne's patriotic novel "Facing the Flag" or "For the Flag" was published in 1896. The book is part of a series called "Voyages Extraordinaires (Extraordinary Journeys)." The idea of France and the entire globe being attacked by a super-weapon (what would now be called a weapon of mass destruction) is repeated in "The Begum's Millions," which Verne published in 1879, and the menace is finally averted through the force of French patriotism. It is one of the earliest works to deal with issues that would become crucial in World War II and the Cold War half a century after its release.

After all, a spy for the Crown can ill afford to marry. But when Prudence's brother is killed, they find themselves uniting to track down the traitorous murderer. And while death lurks within the shadowy world of espionage, there is also passion . . . and the unbidden thrill of a seduction!
