Summary

Richard Sharpe returns to England to save the regiment.Major Sharpe's men are in mortal danger - not from the French, but from the bureaucrats of Whitehall. Unless reinforcements can be brought from England, the regiment will be disbanded.

Determined not to see his regiment die, Sharpe returns to England and uncovers a nest of high-ranking traitors, any of whom could utterly destroy his career with a word. Sharpe is forced into the most desperate gamble of his life - and not even the influence of the Prince Regent may be enough to save him.

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.

Please Note: The historical note is NOT included in this audiobook.

"The best battle scenes of any writer I've ever read, past or present. Cornwell really makes history come alive." (George R.R. Martin)

Sgt Harper's accent just wrong

it is clear from the book and series that Sgt Harper is from Donegal so why does he not have a Donegal accent? Instead he is cast with a heavy Belfast accent. Is this just a lack of research ? Whatever.. it's off putting and annoying.

Grand book to have listened to

The reader used intonation extremely well. So well you felt as if you were in the story. He brought to life the ink on the pages.

Different arc but excellent

A totally different angle to the Sharpe universe, was a delight to consume. With each book the story becomes more compelling and entertaining
