From New York Times bestselling author Bernard Cornwell, the tenth installment in the world-renowned Sharpe series, chronicling the rise of Richard Sharpe, a Private in His Majestyâs Army at the siege of Seringapatam.
Sharpeâs job as Captain of the Light Company is under threat and he has made a new enemy, a Portuguese criminal known as Ferragus. Discarded by his regiment, Sharpe wages a private war against Ferragus â a war fought through the burning, pillaged streets of Coimbra, Portugalâs ancient university city.
Sharpeâs Escape begins on the great, gaunt ridge of Bussaco where a joint British and Portuguese army meets the overwhelming strength of Marshall Massenaâs crack troops. It finishes at Torres Vedras where the French hopes of occupying Portugal quickly die.
