Summary

The gripping new novel from internationally bestselling master of historical fiction Bernard Cornwell.

‘There is everything here that Sharpe fans will love. If this really is the last time Sharpe wields his heavy cavalry sword, he will be sorely missed’ The Times

If any man can do the impossible it’s Richard Sharpe …

The year is 1813. France is a battlefield, and winter shows no mercy. Amidst brutal conditions, Major Richard Sharpe finds himself saddled with an unexpected burden: Rear-Admiral Sir Joel Chase, dispatched by the Admiralty with sealed orders, unshakable confidence, and a frankly terrifying enthusiasm for combat.

Sharpe’s mission from Wellington is clear, yet anything but simple: keep Sir Joel alive.

Sir Joel could hold the key to defeating Napoleon once and for all. But to pull off his audacious plan, he needs someone who knows how to fight dirty, think fast, and survive the impossible.

He needs Sharpe …

Not lacking in combat action and ruses de gueree, this story, to my mind, fleshed out Sharpe's leadership style, adding an extra dimension to what we had learnt of him in BC's other works. I enjoyed it greatly.

An overdue insight into Sharpe's interaction with his comrades
