Les chroniques saxonnes Tome 5 : la terre en feu

It is 1809 and Lieutenant Sharpe, who belongs to a small British army that has a precarious foothold in Portugal, is sent to look for Kate Savage. But before he can discover the missing girl, the French onslaught on Portugal begins and the city of Oporto falls.

Sharpe's Havoc

A Richard Sharpe short story, featuring scenes of action and adventure at Christmas.

 'You'll like Irati, ' Colonel Hogan said. 'It's a nothing place, Richard. Hovels and misery, that's all it is and all it ever will be, but that's where you're going for Christmas.'

 Sharpe was sent to Irati because maybe the French were going there. The garrison planned to march at Christmas in the hope that their enemies would be too bloated with beef and wine to fight, but Hogan had got wind of their plans and was now setting his snares on the only two routes that the escaping French could use. One, the eastern road, was by far the easier route, for it entered France through a low pass, and Hogan guessed it was that route that the French would choose. But there was a second road, a tight, hard, steep road, and that had to be blocked as well and so the Prince of Wales's Own Volunteers, Sharpe's regiment, would climb into the hills and spend their Christmas at a place of hovels and misery called Irati.

 Soldier, hero, rogue - Sharpe is the man you always want on your side. Born in poverty, he joined the army to escape jail and climbed the ranks by sheer brutal courage. He knows no other family than the regiment of the 95th Rifles whose green jacket he proudly wears.

Sharpe’s Christmas

Richard Sharpe, promu commandant dans l'armée de Wellington, conduit ses hommes dans le froid mordant des montagnes espagnoles avec un objectif : libérer des femmes de l'aristocratie prises en otages par une armée de déserteurs, composée de renégats français, espagnols ou encore britanniques, ayant investi la forteresse et le couvent d'Adrados. En même temps qu'il affronte cette troupe de pillards, parmi lesquels l'ignoble sergent anglais Obadiah Hakeswill, Sharpe doit protéger ses flancs contre les assauts des forces françaises. A la tête d'une simple compagnie, il peut cependant compter sur la géniale invention de sir William Congreve, une fusée explosive encore imprécise et dangereuse, mais capable d'influer sur le cours d'une bataille.
