Tallien is based on the political intrigues of Jean Lambert Tallien, an actual French revolutionary figure.

"Tallien is a wonderfully high-flying tale of two woes, made out of juicy, just right sentences. There's nothing like the ride, the rush that Frederic Tuten can give. His 'brief romance' is the real thing: unforgettable."
