| Synopsis: |
It is 1805 and Ensign Richard Sharpe is on his way home from India. However, his ship is ridden with treachery and threatened by a French warship, the Revenant, which is terrorizing British shipping. As the French warship races home, carrying a treaty that could ignite India into a new war against the British, the hunt turns into a stern chase. When the Revenant encounters the combined French and Spanish fleets of Cadiz, it seems that Sharpe's enemies have found safety. Yet over the horizon is Nelson's fleet, and Sharpe's revenge will come in a savage climax when the two armadas meet off Cape Trafalgar. |
