Description
The Montevideo Brief: A Thomas Grey Novel by J. H. Gelernter In the midst of Beethoven's Third Symphony debut in Vienna, 1804, a Spanish diplomat reveals a crucial secret to Captain Thomas Grey, agent of His Majesty's Secret Service. The terms of the Treaty of San Ildefonso with France are about to be exposed, threatening Britain's naval presence in South America. Spain's neutrality is merely a ruse, designed to conceal the massive treasure armada gathering in Montevideo, Uruguay. With 2,000 tons of gold on board, Spain will declare war on Britain and ally with France once the gold reaches Madrid. The fate of the British Empire hangs in the balance, and Grey must act swiftly to prevent disaster. With time running out, Grey faces an impossible task: sink or capture the treasure fleet before it's too late.
