The story begins well with Mr. Sharpe and his mixed platoon lost in the bleak mountains between Portugal and Spain. He has attained some respect among his fellow officers for his fighting abilities, but awaits promotion.
At last there is a little more about the strategy of the campaign rather than merely bloody engagements. The latter are described in Mr. Cornwell's usual gory manner.
