Describe the plot without giving anything away.
Richard Sharpe and the Vittoria Campaign, February to June 1813. Sharpe has developed a new enemy – Ducos – a Napoleonic intelligence officer with hints of the SS about him. Sharpe gets involved not just in battles but in politics – for which he is ill-designed to cope. Before too long Welington is faced with the prospect of hanging the man who once saved his life.
What did you think of the characters?

Thoughts on the book jacket / cover.
I do like the set of covers that have old paintings on them. Much better than the later ones. Unfortunately I haven’t seen the ‘good cover for this one.

Yes, another essential for Sharpe fans or anyone interested in the Napoleonic wars.
