Summary
Spain, July 1809
Lieutenant Richard Sharpe faces not only great danger on the battlefield but also, even more dangerous, treachery within his own ranks. But as the enemy approaches, he must pick up his rifle and prepare to lead his men against the French at one of the biggest, bloodiest fights of the war – the Battle of Talavera.
Out of the mist comes the roaring, undefeated army sent by Emperor Napoleon. Over their heads soar the Eagles, the standards touched by the hand of the Emperor himself. And boldly waiting for them is Sharpe . . .

Love the Sharpe books
The story is brilliant but Rupert Farley is not too good on the accents. All the Scots sound the same.
Otherwise supurb

The Best
I had read the whole series of Sharpe's story many years ago and watched the series on tv but I have been really pleased to be able to go through them again in this format . This is a story that will never loose it's power and I hope will be there for future generations to find and enjoy .

The best Sharpe novel
The best Sharpe novel of the original series. Sparkling dialogue and entertaining run ins with those who look down on him. A really engaging story brilliantly narrated as usual.

As always, very good
As always Rupert Farley performed excellently.
Thanks to the TV production I cant picture anyone else but the characters. But now the voices are firmly Farleys.
Cornwell once again shows his wordsmanship skills
