It's 1809 and the powerful French juggernaut is sweeping across Spain. Lieutenant Sharpe is newly in command of the demoralized, distrustful men of the 95th Rifles. He must lead them to safety - and the only means of escape is a treacherous trek through the enemy-infested mountains of Spain. Blas Vivar and his band of intrepid Spanish soldiers may prove to be their salvation. But Vivar is transporting a mysterious chest that he claims can shift the tides of war, and the French are determined to get it - no matter what the cost.Don't forget to check out the rest of Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe series.©1988 by Rifleman Productions (P)1995 by Blackstone Audiobooks Historical Fiction War Solider Fiction Genre Fiction Literary Fiction

Critic reviews

"Consistently exciting....These are wonderful novels!" (Stephen King)
Gripping Adventure • Historical Accuracy • Excellent Voice Acting • Engaging Characters • Thrilling Action

Highly rated for:

All stars

Fast paced, beautifully written, with characters so well formed, they seem to be right next to me. Full of historic, military, and geographic factoids that enhance rather than burden the tale.

Enthralling

Reader is entirely wrong for Sharpe - made
him seem like a wimpy Hamlet / plus author forgot Sharpe was married in an earlier book - quite disappointing when compared to Sharpe’s Trafalgar and Sharpe’s Prey

Wrong voice for reader

This is one of my favorites of the Sharpe series. The beginning of his fighting the Napoleon wars. hoped that Sharpe's voice had more bass and calm. I always thought that he should sound cool and collected and perhaps a little more Cockney

Narrator is the best. Best Sharpe book yet. Could be an action movie but still keeps all the period flavor.

Outstanding
