About the book
The war against france and Napoleon continues Wellington ready to launch an ultimate attack, but he must keep powerful french forces from pressing his flank and Sharpe ends up in the middle of a subterfuge plot that only a lucky soldier like him could possibly survive, especially when he is saddled by a glory hogging and as usual, incompetent officer.
