Bernard Corwell, author of Sharpe's Company, Sharpe's Seige, and Sharpe's Revenge, continues the saga of Lt. Col. Richard Sharpe in this, his final adventure. Just as he comes face-to-face with his estranged wife and her lover at a grand society ball, news comes that the British-Prussian link is under attack. In the Battle of Waterloo, Sharpe once again plays a pivotal role in the outcome of a great British triumph.
Sharpe's new adventure takes place in Spain, 1811. The country is in the midst of the Penninsula war and the hero is once again faced with problems of responsibility and difficult decisions which he must solve in order to fight and defeat the enemy.
Follow the escapades of America's ultimate backwoods hero as he travels the frontier in his trademark coonskin cap, in search of adventure, and brags his way into history at the Battle of the Alamo.
