1.Sharpe's Fury-Synopsis-In
the winter of 1811 the war seemed lost. All Spain has fallen to the
French, except for Cadiz which is now the Spanish capital and is under
siege. Wellington and his British army are in Portugal, waiting for
spring to spark the war to life again. Richard Sharpe and his company
are part of a small expeditionary force sent to break a bridge across
the River Guadiana. What begins as a brilliant piece of soldiering
turns into disaster, thanks to the brutal savagery of the French
Colonel Vandal who is leading his battalion to join the siege of Cadiz.
Sharpe extricates a handful of men from the debacle and is driven south
into the threatened city. There, in Cadiz, he discovers more than one
enemy. Many Spaniards doubt Britain's motives and believe their future
would be brighter if they made peace with the French, and one of them.
A baleful priest, secures a powerful weapon to break the British
alliance. He will use a beautiful w**** and the letters she received
from a wealthy man.
