Captain Richard Sharpe, along with his company of redcoats and riflemen, must save Portugal from the invading French in this action-packed, rip-roaring entry in Cornwell's New York Times bestselling adventure series.
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 Majesty's Army at the siege of Seringapatam.
Sharpe's 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 - a war fought through the burning, pillaged streets of Coimbra, Portugal's ancient university city.
Sharpe's Escape begins on the great, gaunt ridge of Bussaco where a joint British and Portuguese army meets the overwhelming strength of Marshall Massena's crack troops.
It finishes at Torres Vedras where the French hopes of occupying Portugal quickly die.
