Awesome fight scenes again!

Loved the battling but the story line was not as good as the other Sharpe novels. On to the next!

Sharpe triumphs again!

An emotional rollercoaster of a book. Sharpe takes you through every emotion a soldier could endure during such a trying dark time. His inner battle and his battle with his foe going toe to toe makes an intriguing classic!
