Sharpe's Rifles - Bernard Cornwell

Newly-made Lieutenant Sharpe, a strong box of secrets, a Spanish Major and snow. Oh, and the first encounter between Richard Sharpe and the South Essex, including Pat (not yet Sergeant) Harper... things do not start well.... Yes, it's the start of the Sharpe series as we know it!
