Read by Frederick Davidson.

In 1814, the Napoleonic Wars rage on as Britain invades France. Gearing up for a long and bitter winter campaign, Major Richard Sharpe and his company are unwittingly used as diversionary pawns. Faced with taking a French fortress while simultaneously dealing with American mercenaries, Sharpe butts heads with the bungling Captain Horace Bampfylde.

TRAPPED WITH HIS BACK TO THE SEA, MAJOR RICHARD SHARPE AND A HANDFUL OF MEN MUST STAND AGAINST A BATTALION OF FRENCH TROOPS. Sharpe's mission seemed simple: capture a small unguarded French coastal fort, cripple Napoleon's supply lines, and retreat across the sea. But behind the lines, Sharpe's old enemy, Pierre Ducos, awaits Sharpe's arrival with a battalion of French soldiers and a vicious commanding general who keeps the scalps of his dead enemies as trophies. Outmaneuvered by Ducos's treachery and abandoned by his own men, Sharpe has only two choices: to escape with the aid of the charming, unscrupulous American mercenary Cornelius Killick, or die. --,Back cover
