About this listen

A small British army is stranded when the French invade northern Portugal and Lieutenant Richard Sharpe meets the future Duke of Wellington.

Sharpe is stranded behind enemy lines, but he has Patrick Harper, his riflemen and he has the assistance of a young, idealistic Portuguese officer.

When he is joined by the future Duke of Wellington they immediately mount a counter-attack and Sharpe, having been the hunted, becomes the hunter once more. Amidst the wreckage of a defeated army, in the storm lashed hills of the Portuguese frontier, Sharpe takes his revenge.

Soldier, hero, rogue – Sharpe is the man you always want on your side. Born in poverty, he joined the army to escape jail and climbed the ranks by sheer brutal courage. He knows no other family than the regiment of the 95th Rifles whose green jacket he proudly wears.

I have listened to many of the Sharpe series & I love them. I saw the entire tv series and when I listen to Rupert Farley I can almost swear Sean Bean is reprising his role as Sharpe. Rupert was an inspired choice for these books.

Now on to the next one!

Another superb Richard Sharpe story!

A very emotive episode for Sharpe as french cruelty is described, in graphic detail. In fact it's human cruelty on both sides, all ages, all classes. Historically it seems, napoleon left soult out on a limb. No reinforcements meant no king of Lithuania. but thousands suffered as a result, and wellingtons army had an easier job of removing the french from Portugal.

Attack then defend.

Not really one of the more thrilling stories but a nice little filler in between bigger ones.

Nice little bridge between bigger stories

It strikes me reading the callousness and brutality in these books that man has not progressed much over the past 200 years.

No holds barred
