Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures. A year after victory at Talavera, Wellington's army is outnumbered, bankrupt, and on the verge of collapse. Its only hope lies in a cache of gold hidden in the Portuguese mountains, and the only man capable of stealing it is Captain Richard Sharpe. Sharpe's mission pits him against the French army, a fanatical Spanish guerrilla leader, and his beautiful but deadly lover-and leads him into the fortress of Almeida, where he is trapped. But Richard Sharpe is determined to succeed...even if it means turning against his own side.Cornwell, Bernard is the author of 'Sharpe's Gold Library Edition', published 2004 under ISBN 9780451213419 and ISBN 0451213416.
