Sharpe is serving on the personal staff of the prince of Orange, who refuses to listen to Sharpe's reports of an enormous army, led by Napoleon, marching towards them. The Battle of Waterloo commences, and it seems as if Sharpe must stand by and watch the grandest scale of military folly.

Publisher's Summary
Richard Sharpe triumphs in the last battle of the war, only to find himself in worse peril when charged to recover Napoleon's treasure.
It is 1814. There are rumours that Napoleon is dead, or has run away, but Sharpe has one last battle to fight before he can lay down his sword. It is the battle for Toulouse. Little does he know it will be one of the bloodiest conflicts of the war. But Sharpe's war is not only the battle. Accused of stealing Napoleon's treasure, Sharpe must discover the unknown enemy who has tried to frame him - and his revenge is ingenious and devastating.
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.

Sharpe Revenged
This book, nearing the end of the series, is quite simply fantastic. It has the usual bloody battles, but also an extra helping of intrigue, which Bernard Cornwell does with such aplomb. The narrator is first rate, as ever, and the titular revenge, when it comes, is satisfying. Sharpe at his dastardly best.

The worst of the Sharpe series.
Firstly, the performance is, as always with Rupert Farley, absolutely fantastic.
The problem is with the story itself. It is weak, jumps about and a number of the characters (main ones) change utterly, and very suddenly. My main issues are with Friedrichson and Jane, both of whom are utterly different to the characters they are in earlier books, and not in a good way.
Listen to see what develops, but be warned; it really is not very good.
