Description
"The year is 1813. France is a battlefield, and winter shows no mercy. Amid brutal conditions, Major Richard Sharpe finds himself saddled with an unexpected burden: Rear-Admiral Sir Joel Chase, dispatched by the Admiralty with sealed orders, unshakable confidence, and a frankly terrifying enthusiasm for combat. Sharpe's mission from Wellington is clear, yet anything but simple: keep Sir Joel alive. Sir Joel could hold the key to defeating Napoleon once and for all. But to pull off his show more audacious plan, he needs someone who knows how to fight dirty, think fast, and survive the impossible"-- show lessTags

Finally into France, but still battles to be won. Sharpe still is Wellington's man when nefarious work is to be done. This time, it is to assist the HMN as they seek to build bridges to support the Peers invasion force. True to the Sharpe Canon and a very pleasant surprise. Thank you, Mr Cornwell.
A master storyteller of this genre.
Compulsive unputdownable totally engaging from first to last page, this is the third book since Sharpe's return and while I thoroughly enjoyed the others, this is by far the best the Sharpe we know and love. Atmospheric authentic descriptive almost none stop blood and guys action.
Completely and utterly recommended.

Sharpe goes on. He leads the riflemen fighting Marshall Sault, and helps in planning a bridge for assault on Bayonne.
