About

Sharpe's mission seems simple: capture a defenseless French coastal fort, cripple Napoleon's supply lines, and retreat across the sea. But old enemy Pierre Ducos lies in wait behind the lines with a French battalion and a general who scalps his dead enemies for trophies.

Reviews

"[Has] the same combination of thorough research and narrative drive that distinguished its predecessors. It is a gripping read."
Independent (London)
"The novel's true strength-beyond the tense drama of the combat scenes-lies in its skillful evocation of that era, the little touches of description and history that bring a way of life alive."
Washington Post Book World
"Lots of derring-do. Sharpe is never dull."
Kirkus Reviews
