0This is a terrific adventure novel. It features a dashing hero, a cinematic villain, a beautiful and treacherous love interest, and all the action one could want in a male power fantasy.
Major Richard Sharpe, an officer in Wellington's army fighting the French across Spain, faces torturers, inquisitors, schemers, and even members of his own army. He cuts through swaths of his enemies, earns the love of his soldiers, charms every woman he meets, and generally kicks ass for roughly ten hours of listening.
If you enjoy big, silly adventure novels rooted in strong historical research, you're sure to enjoy the Sharpe series in general and this volume in particular. I loved it.
