June 1815. Napoleon Bonaparte's Grande Armée and the allied forces, led by the duke of Wellington, get ready to rumble with considerable enthusiasm in a quiet little spot of the Belgium countryside called Waterloo.
Everyone knowns what happened there...or do they? One can never be too sure.
In fact, before the epic Battle of Waterloo, no one, not even the most cunning analysts, could imagine the historical significance of the battle...or bet a nickel on the outcome. This was no petty struggle to get on the bus. There were some casualties. About 60,000, it seems.
However, there was more to win than just plain and simple victory. Nap and the Duke were fighting over other matters which had little to do with Europe's destiny. One of these matters was, of course, a lady. And not any common lady. It was none other than Lady Edwina Napes Zubarry, unpredictable double agent and expert spy.
While the emperor's military genius was being overcome by this fatal passion, one of his mariscal, a mentally unstable yet quite elegant former corporal called Armani, suffers a serious psychotic episode which will, in fact, be the first recorded case of Napoleonic Delirium in the history of modern psychiatry...
