Caught in a web of political intrigue for which his military experience has left him fatally unprepared, Sharpe becomes a fugitive - a man hunted by both ally and enemy alike.Don't forget to check out the rest of Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe series.©1985 Rifleman Productions (P)1995 Blackstone Audiobooks

Critic reviews

"Consistently exciting....These are wonderful novels!" (Stephen King)

The highs and lows of Richard Sharpe's struggle!

Another great book in the Sharpe's series! He does it again and uses wit and fighting knowledge to win the day! Also it perfectly ties in one of the greatest plunder blunders of our worlds history.

Great writing and great reading

Another Sharpe book with amazing descriptions, great imagery, a great story reader. I only have a few Sharpe books to yet read. I’ll miss the characters.

Kicking Napoleon out of Spain

Pierre Ducos, French spy, sets a trap for Sharpe and has him charged with the murder of the Marquis. Lord Wellington is forced to respond by having Sharpe court martialed and hanged. But does Hogan and Wellington have a secret plan? So begins the story of intrigue
and suspense. There are several battles in the story and as I have said before Cornwell is the master of the battle scene. The last battle scene of the story is magnificent. I was most interested in the author's comments at the end of the story, telling what was true and where to go to see the battle scene, also which museums to go to see the Rubin's paintings and other item's left or recovered from the looting of the wagons. Cornwell is great at weaving history and fiction together into a great story. Frederick Davidson does a great job narrating the story.

Best Reader of all time

I liked the reader the most. I find every book he records and listen. He’s the best. He is dearly missed.

Another good Sharpe Book

I really enjoy these books, so I'm really biased. This one has a slightly different plot than some of the others, which is a nice twist, although the second half of the book seems kind of repetitive of other Sharpe books. I did enjoy the description of the plunder of the wagons at the end though.
