This volume begins with Mr. Sharpe's career looking up. The careful description of the weapons and strategies then current are always spot on.
As I meet two or three times with high school gals and guys wishing to improve their reading skills enough so they have some confidence in being able to hack junior college, the identity of the unnamed bad guy at the start of this volume was immediately to be guessed and the introduction of Congreve's rocket technology promises an answer to plot complications not immediately apparent.
A good read by Mr. Cornwell.
