Un complot polÃtico corrupto amenaza con acabar con el regimiento de South Essex y con la vida del mayor Richard Sharpe cuando investiga y descubre una red de reclutamiento ilegal que vende soldados como ganado a otras divisiones. Wellington's in southern France by now, and Sharpe's battalion is a major part of a combined operation to aid in the crossing of the Ardour. This late in the war, there's a lot of competition in the search for honors and glory. So, a lot of conniving has to be met with some clever manoeuvering. A considerable American influence leads to the final outcome. Fun. Nueva entrega de las aventuras del fusilero Richard Sharpe.Sharpe debe encabezar un grupo de fusileros que ha de capturar un fuerte en la costa de Francia para facilitar el desembarco de las fuerzas de Wellington. Pero debido a a incompetencia de un capitán de navÃo y las pérfidas maquinaciones del espÃa Pierre Ducros, se convierte en la más peligrosa y arriesgada de las misiones emprendidas por Sharpe It was a fast read, as most of them are. The story is not in my favourite category. It could be the characters such as the pompous naval commander or it might have been the plot itself. To me it was another...Richard Sharpe in an impossible situation and wiggles out...novel. I want more at this point I suppose. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

HTML: Trapped with his back to the sea, Major Richard Sharpe and a handful of men must stand against a battalion of French troops. Winter, 1814 â?? The invasion of France is under way, and the British Navy has called upon the services of Major Richard Sharpe. Sharpe's mission seemed simple: capture a small unguarded French coastal fort, cripple Napoleon's supply lines, and retreat across the sea. But behind the lines, Sharpe's old enemy, Pierre Ducos, awaits Sharpe's arrival with a battalion of French soldiers and a vicious commanding general who keeps the scalps of his dead enemies as trophies. Outmaneuvered by Ducos' treachery and abandoned by his own navy, Sharpe has only two choices: to escape with the aid of the charming, unscrupulous American mercenary, Cornelius Killick, or die.
