Sharpe's Gold: Richard Sharpe and the Destruction of Almeida, August 1810

An action-packed historical adventure from Bernard Cornwell's enthralling series on the Napoleonic Wars.

A daring, impossible mission might just be their last hope.

A year after the victory at Talavera, things are looking bleak. With Wellington outnumbered, the bankrupt army's only hope of avoiding collapse is a hidden cache of Portuguese gold. Only Captain Richard Sharpe is capable of stealing it--and it means turning against his own men.
