Sharpe's Regiment

Major Richard Sharpe's men are in mortal danger, not from the French, but from the bureaucrats of Whitehall. Unless reinforcements can be brought from England, the depleted South Essex will be disbanded. Refusing to let his regiment die, Sharpe returns to England and uncovers a nest of high-ranking traitors, any of who whom could destroy his career. Even the Prince Regent may not have the influence to save Sharpe this time.
