The Fairest Portion of the Globe

La Louisiane, 1793...a land of riches beyond imagining. Whoever controls the vast domain along the Mississippi River will decide the fate of North America. When young French diplomat Citizen Genet arrives on Jefferson's doorstep from the blood-soaked streets of revolutionary Paris, he s determined to wrest Louisiana away from Spain and win it back for France even if it means global war.
But Genet doesn t count on General Mad Anthony Wayne, whose true-life band of heroes and lunatics are fortifying the raw edges of the American frontier. As Mad Anthony hunts for a traitor in his ranks, washed-up hero George Rogers Clark prepares to take command of Genet s renegade forces in seething, secessionist Kentucky.
It's winner take all...and the losers might include Clark's beautiful sister Fanny, who gambles her own sanity to save her brother s soul, and two reckless young soldiers named Lewis and Clark whose dreams of adventure in the West will end in death or glory.
