Sharpe's rifles: Richard Sharpe and the French invasion of Galicia, January 1809 (Richard Sharpe ; #6)

By Bernard Cornwell

Historical fiction, War stories

Human-narrated audio

Summary

In the bitter winter of 1809, the victorious French are chasing the English and Spanish armies towards Corunna. Cut off from the main force and surrounded, Lieutenant Richard Sharpe and his men accept the help of an unlikely ally, the… Spanish cavalry officer Major Blas Vivar. Unknown to them, their rescuer has desperate, quixotic ambitions which will lead to a suicidal assault on Santiago de Compostella and a savage fight against overwhelming odds. Strong language. Sequel to "Sharpe's prey" (DC29102); followed by "Sharpe's havoc" (DC29097). 1989. (Richard Sharpe ; 6)
