From ambushes in Spain to the desperate defence of Portugal, these five instalments capture Sharpe at his most resourceful, battling enemies both French and closer to home.

About the Books
Each novel in this collection follows Richard Sharpe as he rises through the ranks of the British Army during the Peninsular War. In Sharpe's Rifles, Sharpe and his green-jacketed riflemen are cut off behind enemy lines near Santiago de Compostela, forced into a desperate stand against a determined French force. Sharpe's Havoc sees the French invasion of northern Portugal strand a small British detachment, with Sharpe relying on his loyal sergeant Patrick Harper and a young Portuguese officer to survive. In Sharpe's Eagle, a newly promoted Captain Sharpe leads his men into the Battle of Talavera under an incompetent colonel, capturing a prized French regimental eagle along the way. Sharpe's Gold sends Sharpe on a dangerous mission to secure vital gold reserves for Wellington's army, pitting him against a vengeful guerrilla leader. The set closes with Sharpe's Escape, in which Captain Sharpe survives the brutal Bussaco campaign and the retreat to the Torres Vedras lines, facing both Marshal Massena's army and the menacing Portuguese criminal Ferragus. Together, these five novels showcase Cornwell's meticulous historical research, propulsive battle scenes, and richly drawn characters, offering readers an immersive, blow-by-blow journey through some of the most dramatic episodes of the Peninsular War.
