About this listen
Spain, July 1809
Lieutenant Richard Sharpe faces not only great danger on the battlefield but also, even more dangerous, treachery within his own ranks. But as the enemy approaches, he must pick up his rifle and prepare to lead his men against the French at one of the biggest, bloodiest fights of the war – the Battle of Talavera.
Out of the mist comes the roaring, undefeated army sent by Emperor Napoleon. Over their heads soar the Eagles, the standards touched by the hand of the Emperor himself. And boldly waiting for them is Sharpe . . .

The weakest of the sharp books. Still good though.
I was told many years ago that this was the first of Cornwells Sharp books. I wouldn't say you should skip it, but if you have read the previous books in the timeline you may be disappointed. Still well narrated though.
