| Summary | "For The Admiral" by W. J. Marx is a historical novel set during the tumultuous period of French history known as the Wars of Religion in the late 16th century. The story revolves around a young man named Edmond Le Blanc, the son of a Huguenot leader, who is thrust into a perilous adventure when he takes on the mission of delivering a vital message to Admiral Gaspard de Coligny amidst a brewing conflict that pits Catholics against Huguenots. The opening of the book introduces us to Edmond and his close ally Jacques, who are navigating a war-torn France, filled with distrust and intrigue. Edmond's father, a respected figure in the Huguenot community, comes home with a wounded messenger, Ambroise Devine, carrying urgent news that could save the Admiral's life. Driven by a sense of duty and bravery, Edmond volunteers to escort the crucial documents to Tanlay, initiating a journey fraught with danger. The narrative quickly escalates as they encounter suspicious individuals and face unexpected threats, setting the stage for drama, action, and the challenging realities of loyalty and courage during a deeply divided time in French history.
