Spain, 1812. General Rowland Hill sends Sharpe to reconnoitre the French forts protecting a pontoon bridge across the Tagus at Almaraz. The bridge allows two French armies to reinforce one another and must be destroyed before the British can advance. Sharpe’s reconnaissance becomes a larger mission involving deception, divided loyalties and a direct assault on the fortified crossing.
