" Quite early chronologically, but one of the later Sharpe's to be written, this is another very good addition to the series, with Sharpe facing losing his company to a lesser man, hounded by enemies, and for a time, stuck behind the lines. All of Bernard Cornwell's ingerdients are here for an excellent read, lots of fighting, big battles, bad guys, injustice, and of course, a beautiful woman. "
