Description

In the summer of 1810, the French are mounting their third and most dangerous invasion of Portugal. Sharpe’s job as Captain of the Light Company is under threat and he has made a new enemy, a Portuguese criminal known as Ferragus. Discarded by his regiment, Sharpe wages a private war against Ferragus – a war fought through the burning, pillaged streets of Coimbra.

Professional reviews

"'The Richard Sharpe novels are notable for their wonderfully astringent view of history. Sharpe is a man first and a patriot second...' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH ‘No one is better than Bernard Cornwell in describing battles large and small, howitzer fire, cavalry charges or bayonet attacks.' EVENING STANDARD"
