This book is set in 1809 and it brings Sharpe to Portugal. Sharpe is part of a small British army that has a precarious foothold in Portugal. Sent to look for Kate Savage, the daughter of an English wine shipper, the French attack begins and the city of Oporto falls. This leaves Sharpe stranded behind enemy lines. He not only has to find the missing girl, but also stop double-agent Colonel Christopher. Sharpe becomes a hunter instead of the hunted. Exercising revenge on the men who double-crossed him. Sharpe's Havoc is a classic story. A return to Portugal in the company of Sergeant Patrick Harper, Captain Hogan, and Sharpe's beloved Greenjackets, who can turn a battle as fast as Cornwell's readers can turn a page. A solid plot, wicked baddies, a beautiful girl, and rough and ready Sharpe's in good form.
