Klappentext 'Sharpe and his creator are national treasures.' Sunday Telegraph India, December 1803 The British army are closing in on enemy troops in western India and Ensign Richard Sharpe, freshly promoted yet unsure of his position, finds himself vulnerable: he's unwelcome among the officers, yet finds hidden enemies within the ranks. With no-one he can trust, Sharpe is in serious danger when an old adversary arrives on his trail - and a terrible act of betrayal draws him into the eye of the storm. All roads lead to Gawilghur, a legendary, impregnable fortress in the sky. In the heart of enemy territory, the British carry out a near-impossible siege. And joining the front line, risking his honour and reputation in a battle that will test him as never before, is Sharpe . . . 'A master storyteller' DAILY TELEGRAPH Zusammenfassung ‘Sharpe and his creator are national treasures.' Sunday Telegraph
