Captain Richard Sharpe has earned his rank the hard way, which makes him intolerable to officers who bought theirs. At Talavera, amid one of the bloodiest battles of the Peninsular War, cowardice costs his regiment its colors and leaves Sharpe with an impossible task: restore its honor by taking a French imperial eagle. Bernard Cornwell puts class resentment, treachery, and close-quarter warfare into the same march, giving Sharpe a prize worth risking everything for.
