Summary

Denmark, 1807

When Lieutenant Richard Sharpe arrives in Copenhagen on a secret mission to help stop a war, he finds a city swarming with spies and deceit. Yet the French forces are gathering, their eyes on the Danish navy’s impressive battle fleet: one that could replace every ship they lost at Trafalgar.

The city burns, attacked by the French and besieged by the British. And discovering that he’ll have to make his own rules, fighting through the shadowy maze of friends and foes, is Sharpe . . .

Great book.

Excellent storyline brilliantly narrated by Rupert Farley. Great characters including of course, the dogged Richard Sharpe who never gives up! Really enjoyed it!

You know what you're getting with Sharpe.

There's something comforting about the predictability of Richard Sharpe's adventures. Somebody wrongs him, he gets revenge, triumphs, wins the heart of the lady, all while navigating pivotal moments in military history. I can't get enough of it.

Another fantastic book in the Sharpe series

If however you happen to be danish, you will probably cringe at the pronunciations of all the danish names, street names and the the few passages in danish. But it isn't a major problem, just a source of laughter and slight confusion :D
