Envoy's Dance

Jack Adler's newest hero, a young and untested junior diplomat is thrust into a dangerous Venezuelan jungle amidst a violent territorial dispute that could lead to war with Great Britain on his first assignment. He becomes involved in an affair with a beautiful half English-half Venezuelan woman who he later marries. Subsequently, he is placed in a three-way dispute between Great Britain, Germany and the U.S. over control of strategically-placed Samoa in the Pacific that threatens to explode into a full-scale naval conflict. Meanwhile, a savage civil war rages on land and his life is in peril when he's captured by one side. After his ransom, he's sent on a top-secret mission to China to try and secure an American naval base in territory controlled by the Japanese during the period when China was being chopped up by England, Russia, Germany and other nations.These stirring adventures at the end of the 19th century and the start of the 20th century, based on authentic historical episodes in America's diplomatic past, depict the rise of the U.S. as a world power. As the country matures, so does the young diplomat. Grab your exciting copy today!
