Adventurer Ethan Gage travels through the darkest and most superstitious realms of eighteenth century Europe, to the castles and caves of Bohemia to rescue his family and uncover a mysterious medieval device rumored to foretell the future.
Having quick-wittedly survived the battle of Trafalgar, Ethan is rushing to rescue “Egyptian priestess” Astiza and son Harry from imprisonment by a ruthless mystic who seeks revenge for disfigurement, and an evil dwarf alchemist who experiments with the occult on Prague’s Golden Lane.
Using death as his ruse, and a pair of unlikely allies—a Jewish Napoleonic soldier and his sutler father—Ethan must decipher clues from Durendal, the sword of Roland. Astiza uses her own research to concoct an explosive escape and find a lost tomb, their tormentors in relentless pursuit.
William Dietrich skillfully weaves intrigue and magic, romance and danger in a historical thriller that sprints from the fury of Napoleonic war to the mystic puzzles of Central Europe. What enigmas will the fabled Brazen Head finally reveal?

From Booklist For those who haven’t met him already, here’s Ethan Gage: American diplomat and spy, adventurer, treasure seeker, protégé of Benjamin Franklin. Oh, and dead man—at least that’s what Gage is happy to let people believe for the moment. Having narrowly escaped the Battle of Trafalgar (see The Barbed Crown, 2013), Gage is now in Venice, trying to scrape together enough money to rescue his wife and son, who are being held captive in Bohemia. But little does Ethan know that his wife, Astiza, has been pressed into service by her captor, who’s keen to find a fabled alchemical process to turn metal into gold, not to mention locating the Brazen Head, the legendary (although possibly apocryphal) automaton that can see into the future. The first-person narration switches back and forth between Gage, chronicling his efforts to find his wife, and Astiza, recounting her own exploration into the mysteries of alchemy. Another rip-roaring nineteenth-century adventure that combines historical people and events with imaginative fiction. --David Pitt

New York Times bestselling author William Dietrich's captivating historical thriller sprints from the fury of the Napoleonic wars to the mystical puzzles of Central Europe—where a medieval machine promises power over the future.
Venice: Ethan Gage has escaped after surviving the naval battle of Trafalgar.

Using death as his ruse, Gage seeks unlikely allies in the Jewish Napoleonic soldier Gideon Dray, who saves Ethan's life at Austerlitz, and Gideon's father, Aaron, a rabbi whose knowledge of the legends of the Golem adds another layer to the hunt for the Brazen Head. The three must decipher clues from Durendal, the sword of Roland. Meanwhile, Astiza uses her own research to concoct an explosive escape and find a lost tomb, with their tormentors in relentless pursuit.

Palen Jr. Ethan Gage is a cad. Ethan Gage is a scoundrel. Ethan Gage is also the hero/anti-hero of this terrific historical thriller series by William Dietrich set in the Napoleonic age.When I think of Ethan Gage I visualize a man with the adventurous spirit of Indiana Jones along with the cantankerous rascality of Captain Jack Sparrow. He is married to an Egyptian beauty named Astiza who bore him a son named Horus. He is American but has claimed allegiance to Great Britain as well as Napoleon's France --- depending on the situation or simply to save his own skin.As THE THREE EMPERORS opens, Ethan Gage is thought to be dead after the battle at the end of the previous adventure. He is traveling in Venice under the guise of Hieronymus Franklin --- an alleged descendent of the deceased American inventor and politician, Benjamin Franklin. But, since this is an Ethan Gage adventure, his anonymity is most assuredly going to be short-lived!Astiza and Harry are imprisoned by a ruthless man named Richter who fancies himself a mystic. He works in conjunction with an evil dwarf named Auric and the two of them have spearheaded a small army in pursuit of the Brazen Head. Medieval legend has it that the Brazen Head built by Albertus Magnus could foretell the future. It is also alleged that this object was destroyed by Saint Thomas Aquinas. Should it still exist it could purportedly give the owner a huge advantage over all adversaries.Once Ethan's cover is blown he drops the Franklin moniker and finds himself back in front of his old nemesis (and sometime employer) --- Napoleon Bonaparte. Bonaparte has no problem supporting Ethan's mission to recover his wife and child as long as he pursues the Brazen Head at the same time. Gage --- being an American neutral --- agrees to this but secretly remains a man who just wants his family back.Ethan finds an unlikely ally in the person of Jewish Napoleonic soldier, Gideon Mandel. He owes his life to Gideon who saved him from demise at the battle of Austerlitz. It turns out Gideon's father is a Rabbi who has knowledge of both the legendary Golem as well as the Brazen Head. Armed with this newfound understanding of what he is after, Ethan journeys on to face off with a colorful cast of villains who stand in the way of his family reunion as well as obtaining the mythical Brazen Head.As with all of William Dietrich's Ethan Gage novels, THE THREE EMPERORS is steeped in history and most of the people and events depicted within are real. Never has European and World History been so much fun! You need not to have read the prior Ethan Gage adventures to enjoy this one -- - however, those who have will delight in the characters from prior stories who regularly appear. Readers who jump on board for this seventh Ethan Gage adventure will be pleasantly rewarded with an engaging, fun and stimulating adventure that will make you long to be in our hero's company again. This adventure ends on the doorstep of the Russian Empire --- could this be the setting for Ethan's next adventure? Stay tuned!Reviewed by Ray Palen for New Mystery Reader

The action, as always, is fast paced and full of twists and turns. The best part is all of the European historical settings and details that make this one even more real than the precedents. The mystical elements are also a bit more real and make one think about the eternal nature of the universe. I read that the publisher may make this the last one, and I would opine that is a mistake. Hopefully that move will be reconsidered.

By Benjamin Thomas The 7th and (so far) final novel in the Ethan Gage series continues the fine tradition of swashbuckling adventure as in all of the previous volumes. Ethan Gage describes himself as “Advisor, historian, seer, electrician, diplomat, and military consultant; a confidant of President Jefferson, and scholar of civilization.” His adversaries would use different words such as rogue, scoundrel, gambler, thief, deserter, and the like. What’s interesting about these books is that both perspectives are correct.This novel continues the grand adventure that began in the previous book, "The Barbed Crown", with the central emphasis on recovering the lost and perhaps not even real medieval treasure known as the “Brazen head”, an automaton that is rumored to be able to predict the future. The quest actually started in the previous book but was sidetracked by all sorts of interesting historical events and the separation of Ethan from his wife and son. Now as he tries to reunite with them once again his adventures take him back once more to Napoleon’s side (and, in fact, is the one who must tell Napoleon of the great naval loss at Trafalgar). As always, despite his best laid plans, chance and circumstance dictate Ethan’s path and he finds himself fighting as a foot soldier on the French side during the pivotal battle at Austerlitz against the Russians and the Austrians. As always, the author waves actual historical events, people and places into the narrative, providing a wonderful sense of crazy reality.For the first time in the series, some of the chapters are told from the point of view of Astiza, Ethan’s wife. One chapter is even told from his very young son’s viewpoint. All are in first person but this offers an interesting perspective, given that up until now we really didn’t know Astiza’s thoughts on various events or even, indeed, about Ethan. This really made her come alive in my mind instead of being just another character as in previous books in the series.According the author’s website, he is working on another Ethan Gage novel. If for some reason that does not ever bear fruit, then this is a nice place to end the series. Even though there is much left in the Napoleonic basket of history from which to pluck adventures, the end of this book does find Ethan and his little family in a good place and with a plan for their future.I, for one, will be hoping for more of Ethan Gage.
