It is the late summer of 1810 and the French mount their third and most threatening invasion of Portugal. Captain Richard Sharpe, with his company of redcoats and riflemen, meets the invaders on the gaunt ridge of Bussaco where, despite a stunning victory, the French are not stopped. Sharpe’s Escape slots between Sharpe’s Gold and Sharpe’s Battle.
Not a fan of this sharpe novel. Taking place in a campaign in Portugal the main antagonist is pretty bland, not very much interplay with the French, managed to get through it.
