Richard Sharpe, abandoned in enemy territory, has to trust in
assistance from a hostile American privateer.
The invasion of France is under way, and the British Navy has called
upon the services of Major Richard Sharpe. He and a small force of
Riflemen are to capture a fortress and secure a landing on the French
coast. It is to be one of the most dangerous missions of his career.
Through the reckless incompetence of a naval commander, Sharpe finds
himself abandoned in the heart of enemy territory, facing overwhelming
forces and the very real prospect of defeat. He has no alternative but
to trust his fortunes to an American privateer – a man who has no love
for the British invaders.
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.

what promises to be a fabulous series.' Jean Fullerton
Made in China and imported by the East India Company for the kings,
queens and rising middle classes of Europe, porcelain has become
the most valuable commodity in the West. They call it white gold.
The secret method of its manufacture would make a millionarie of
the man who discovered it or a great power of the nation which held
it. And now that closely-guarded formula has been smuggled out of
China in a letter which half the world is chasing - including
servant-turned-pirate Patrick Devlin. To find the letter and secure
the release of his kidnapped friend Peter Sam, Devlin must sail to
the island of New Providence and a confrontation with his former
master Captain John Coxon - not to mention Edward 'Blackbeard'
Teach, a man with a fearsome reputatlin, a deep grudge, and a long
memory.
