“Frederick Davidson performs superbly. The hardness and hauteur of his syllable-precise delivery render well the rigid hierarchies and varied personalities of military life. For fans of the series, Davidson's readings may be definitive.” —AudioFile

“Sharpe’s Enemy is rich in historical detail and narrative surprises, and listeners need know nothing about Sharpe’s background or the Peninsular War to enjoy Frederick Davidson’s fine reading.” —Library Journal

"The charm of the Sharpe novels is that of meticulously researched stories, books with a passionate correctness as to the details of military organization...and an old-fashioned devotion to heroic conduct." —The Washington Post

"Apart from the rousing battle scenes, the author is at his best in evoking a long-gone era through clever detail." —New York Times Book Review

A band of renegades led by Sharpe's vicious mortal enemy, Obadiah Hakeswill, holds a group of British and French women hostage in a strategic mountain pass. On the other side of the pass, Napoleon's Grande Armée seeks to smash through and crush the British army in Portugal. Outnumbered and attacked from two sides, Sharpe must hold his ground or die in the attempt.
