Sharpe's Havoc
Audio-Book
This time, we are taken to the spring of 1809 when a few British
soldiers are stationed in Lisbon as Marshal Soult undertakes
his assault on the garrison of Northern Portugal. It's not
for Sharpe and his trusty crew of riflemen to dwell on the
finer points of politics when they are sent into the city of
Oporto to save the lives of two British women who have elected
to stay. But when one of the women, Kate Savage, goes missing,
Sharpe (along with Sergeant Patrick Harper and several battle-hardened
colleagues) finds himself besieged in the city when the bridge
over the river falls to the enemy. The English are forced on
in a desperate journey back to the safety of the British encampment,
but things become very murky when an enigmatic English officer
informs them that they will be staying in the hellhole that
is Northern Portugal.
