I have read previous Sharpe books and this keeps up the trend.
Sharpe is sent to spy on an enemy bridge which allows contact between the Northern and Southern French armies in Spain as one of only two crossings across the Tagus. Along with Patrick Harper and members of the (5th he has to battle his way to victory.
The British army wants to invade Spain but General Hill wants to ensure the two French armies cannot support each other.

Another great read. Readers of earlier Sharpe novels with enjoy this as much as the others.

Another Sharpe !
Sheer delight and unputdownable as usual b ut not long enough like this review :)

A classic Sharpe story, back in the peninsula war. Again charged with delivering against the odds, our protaganist uses cunning and unorthodoxy to foil the French

Another awesome Sharpe book! Not as good as some.of the best in the series, but if you're already a fan of Sharpe, you'll find plenty to enjoy in this one!
