Sinopse

Sharpe's Devastation is the seventh and highly anticipated book in the series The Adventures of a Soldier in the Napoleonic Wars , which has already sold over 90,000 copies in Brazil.

It's 1809. A few years after his heroic exploits in India and Trafalgar, Lieutenant Richard Sharpe finds himself fighting the violent armies of Napoleon Bonaparte, who is trying to dominate the Iberian Peninsula. The French emperor is rapidly advancing in northern Portugal, and the persistence of the small contingent of British troops in Lisbon remains uncertain: will His Majesty's forces fight or return home?

But Sharpe has no choice: when the French massacre begins and the city of Porto becomes the scene of a massive carnage, he and his riflemen must go in search of Kate Savage, the missing daughter of an English wine merchant.

Lost behind enemy lines, Sharpe must remain faithful to his mission to find Kate. But his position in enemy territory is disadvantageous, and the task is further complicated by the actions of Colonel Christopher, a mysterious and menacing Englishman with his own ideas for how to expel the French from Portugal. Christopher's plan is dangerous, and Sharpe and his riflemen are the only thing standing in its way.

And when the brave English officer finds himself surrounded by enemies, an unexpected reinforcement comes to his aid, Sir Arthur Wellesley, a commander recently arrived in Lisbon, who mounts a daring counterattack, an operation to drive the French army back to the northern mountains.

Sharpe's Devastation is a narrative based on historical facts, and marks the return of Richard Sharpe to Portugal in the company of Sergeant Patrick Harper, Captain Hogan and their heroic riflemen.
