This is the third installment in The Life of Marek Zaczek series, which covers the Partitions of Poland and the American and French Revolutions in Volume 1: Under the Wings of Eagles and the Coronation of Napoleon and the subsequent Napoleonic Wars in Volume 2: Embers of Love and War. This third novel, Volume 3: The Precipice of Peace opens in Warsaw in January 1807 as The Grande Armée overwinters along the Vistula River. Marek Zaczek is called upon by the impetutious but heroic French Marshal Michel Ney, who leads his Sixth Corps north in search of food to forage. Soon, they stumble upon the bulk of the entire Russian Army conducting a surprise winter attack. The historical battles of Eylau and Friedland are covered in detail, as is the Peace Conference at Tilsit. Napoleon's continuing love affair with the beautiful young Polish Countess Marie Walewska is explored. After Tilsit, Marek is drawn into an elaborate subterfuge and is forced to attempt to rescue his mother, Magdalena, from the clutches of an old foe, imperiling Napoleon's newly established peace.
