Product Description:
Bold, professional and determined, Richard Sharpe embarks on a desperate mission. He must recover the treasure, vital to the success of the war, now hidden behind enemy lines. The gold is in the possession of a powerful guerrilla leader, feared by ally and enemy alike. And, he has no love for Sharpe, the man who has stolen his woman. But Sharpe's fiercest battles lie with the British officers, ignorant of his deadly secret and mistrustful of his ruthless methods.

Currently, I am enjoying working my way through all of Bernard Cornwell's Richard Sharpe novels. Simplistic good versus evil adventure stories with a few twists, entertaining with minimal intellectual challenges. Nice historically based novels with afterwords by the author explaining where he took some literary license. I highly recommend all of Cornwell's work to those who enjoy this type of adventure writing, and most emphatically for those in high school, or those seeking similar reading experiences ... Read More

Lieutenant Sharpe and Sergeant Harper of the 95th Rifles are detailed to recover Royal Spanish gold from Spanish Guerilleros. The British Army numbering less than 30,000 men are poorly supplied and are at their last lines of retreat in Portugal. Viscount Wellington in overall command of combined Portuguese and British forces personally emphasises to Sharpe the dire need to fund the fight against the esitimated 350,000 French armies, recovering the gold is vital.

After reading "Sharpe's Company" about the siege of Badajoz, Spain, I went there on Google Earth and took a virtual tour of the fortress. Way ... Read More

Bernard Cornwell once again has completely captivated my interest with a story of excitement, brutality and heroism. My only disappointment has been that read through his stories too quickly, and find myself ordering the next adventure within a week of receipt.

Bernard Cornwell creation, Richard Sharpe, is one of the more swashbuckling characters you're ever going to find. Raised from the sewers of London through the ranks of the British Army to the command of the lethal 95th Rifles, Sharpe is a soldier's soldier. Handsome, smart but uneducated, with a rakish smile and handsome scars, Sharpe leads men to victory and often manages to lead women into bed. And he has even won the grudging admiration of Cornwell's hero, Sir Arthur Wellesley, nemesis to Napoleon.
