India, September 1803. When a defector all but wipes out an unsuspecting British unit, Sergeant Richard Sharpe must hunt down the enemy within. In the sun-beaten terrain of ports and bazaars, the mission draws him into treacherous, unfamiliar territory, and face to face with an old adversary. As the Mahratta rulers prepare for the white heat of battle, the small village of Assaye becomes the stage. Outnumbered and outgunned, the British faced bloody defeat, but ready to step up in a battle that could make his reputation is Sharpe. 371pp, paperback.
