Product Description:
Lieutenant Richard Sharpe finds himself fighting the ruthless armies of Napoleon Bonaparte as they try to bring the whole of the Iberian Peninsula under their control. Napoleon is advancing fast through northern Portugal, and no one knows whether the small contingent of British troops stationed in Lisbon will stay to fight or sail back to England. Sharpe, however, does not have a choice: He and his squad of riflemen are on the lookout for the missing daughter of an English wine shipper when the French onslaught begins and the city of Oporto becomes a setting for carnage and disaster.
Stranded behind enemy lines, Sharpe returns to his mission to find Kate Savage. Sharpe's position on enemy grounds is precarious, and his search is further complicated by a mysterious and threatening Englishman, Colonel Christopher, who has his own ideas on how the French can be driven from Portugal.

Picking up where "Sharpe's Rifles" leaves off, this installments finds Sharpe and his unit in Portugal. They've been under the benign command of Captain Hogan, who surveys the land in anticipation of French invasion. Sharpe happily delays arriving in Lisbon and returning to formal army command, which he fears will strip his battlefield command from him to return him to the quartermaster work he loathes.
As Oporto evacuates before the French invasion, they are sent on a wild goose chase ... Read More

I listened to the unabridged audiobook read by William Gaminara.
The story centers around Sharpe's orders to locate the 19-year-old Kate Savage, who has run away from home. Although Sharpe doesn't know it at the time, Kate is seduced by British Colonel Christopher. Christopher wants her inheritance. He's also up to his eyeballs in treason.
It's 1809 and the British army is stationed in Lisbon when Marshal Soult begins the French invasion of northern Portugal. Sharpe battles the ... Read More

This is another entry on the Sharpe series. It is fun, entertaining and very readable. Cornwell's research is as excellent as usual. He takes some licenses for the shake of the story and continuity, but this is OK. Some people are outraged by the portrait of some of the real historical characters, but historical characters are rarely depicted accurately in historical fiction, so I think this can be forgiven. Besides, usually a more serious account of these characters is given at the end of the book on the ... Read More

Sharpe's Havoc is another in Sharpe's Rifles series, this one taking place after the first one, but before the 2nd. In this book, Mr. Sharpe is dealing with the French invasion of Portugal in 1809.

Bernard Cornwell's titanic Richard Sharpe series continues with "Sharpe's Havoc: Richard Sharpe and the Campaign in Northern Portugal, Spring 1809." Leading the beefy Irishman Sergeant Harper and the remainder of the 95th Rifles that survived "Sharpe's Rifles," Sharpe finds himself still cut off from the British Army during the Peninsular War. As one can expect from Bernard Cornwell, rollicking adventure ensues.
In "Sharpe's Rifles," Sharpe earned his leadership position with the 95th Rifles, ... Read More
