Storyline

Robespierrre, a powerful figure in the French Revolution, is desperately looking for his black book, a death list of those marked for the guillotine and his key to the French dictatorship. It would mean his death if it fell into the wrong hands. He hopes that his agents will recover it, but if it falls in to the wrong hands, it would mean his ruin. Written by duke1029@aol.com
