Captain Richard Sharpe-bold, professinal, and ruthless-is leading his battle-hardened veterans against Napolean at Talavera in the bloodiest Peninsula battle yet. Sharpe ha fought his way out of the enlisted ranks and earned his captaincy. But others-such as his uncle, Colonel Henry Simmerson, and the foppish Lieutenant Gibbons-are incompetents who bought their commissions. After their cowardly loss of the Regimental King's colour, their resentment of the upstart Sharpe turns to outright treachery.
