Portugal, 1811
Captain Richard Sharpe's renegade ways leave him discarded by his
regiment and waging a war against a private Portuguese enemy ?
one fought through the burning, pillaged streets of Coimbra.
Forced to retreat across treacherous terrain, the British army
prepare vast defences at the Lines of Torres Vedras - their
greatest secret and their last hope of stopping the French
reaching Lisbon. And risking everything to re-join his regiment,
and lead the army into battle once more, is Sharpe.
