Sharpe's fury

The year is 1811, and the French appear to have won their war in Portugal and Spain. The British army is penned into a small part of Portugal, while all of Spain except for the sea-wrapped city of Cádiz has fallen to the invader. Captain Richard Sharpe has no business being in Cádiz but finds himself in a city under French siege, attempting to defeat a blackmail attempt by Spaniards who want to break the alliance with Britain and forge a friendship with Napoléon's France-diabolical plans that only Sharpe can thwart. Sequel to "Sharpe's escape". Followed by "Sharpe's battle" (EA17506). (Richard Sharpe ; 11).

  • "When a secret group of Spaniards threatens the alliance between England and Spain in the fight against Bonaparte, Captain Richard Sharpe and his unit of British soldiers must save the alliance and foil their plans to embarrass the British."@en
  • "In the winter of 1811 the war seemed lost. All Spain has fallen to the French, except for Cadiz which is now the Spanish capital and is under siege. Wellington and his British army are in Portugal, waiting for spring to spark the war to life again. Richard Sharpe and his company are part of a small expeditionary force sent to break a bridge across the River Guadiana. What begins as a brilliant piece of soldiering turns into disaster, thanks to the brutal savagery of the French Colonel Vandal who is leading his battalion to join the siege of Cadiz. Sharpe extricates a handful of men from the debacle and is driven south into the threatened city. There, in Cadiz, he discovers more than one enemy. Many Spaniards doubt Britain's motives and believe their future would be brighter if they made peace with the French, and one of them. A baleful priest, secures a powerful weapon to break the British alliance. He will use a beautiful whore and the letters she received from a wealthy man."@en

  • "Richard Sharpe, the former private in His Majesty's army who now commands a company of rifleman, finds him fighting his old enemies, the French, at the extraordinary battle of Barossa in 1811. Sharpe has been sent by Wellington on a mission to Cadiz, now the capital of Spain, to rescue the British ambassador, who happens to be Wellington's brother, from a spot of undiplomatic trouble. The city has been blockaded by the French but is supported by the British from the sea. It contains a rare mix of pro- and anti-British Spanish, diplomats, courtiers, adventurers and spies. Sharpe's mission, complicated, undercover and political, turns out to be completely different from the one on which he was sent. It brings him through the besieging enemy army to triumph in the battle of Barossa where the British, deserted by their allies, defeat the overwhelmingly stronger French force."@en
