The intrepid band of warriors, led by Captain James Keane, have been given their toughest job yet by Wellington.
Both the British and French armies have retreated from the old university city of Coimbra, leaving it in ruins, the inhabitants destitute and the houses full of wounded from all sides. Infiltrating the streets are the Spanish guerrilla fighters who may support either side, the local Portuguese determined to avenge the horrors inflicted upon their city and the rival spies and intelligence agents determined to find the book of ciphers, hidden in the famous library of Coimbra, guarded by a dissident Jesuit group.
James Keane and his men are sent into the midst of this not only to prevent the book falling into enemy hands but also to discover which of the guerrilla groups are to be trusted and supported by the British. But does this mean following their own plans, mostly concentrated on finding Massena's gold, over Wellington's orders?
James Keane and his band of brothers are a great creation and the story of a city in a warzone with no frontiers has remarkable echoes of other times.

Keane Charge (Audible Audio Edition) Iain Gale David Timson Quercus Books Reviews
This delightful book is the 3rd volume of the excellent James Keane series.
The book contains a well documented historical note at the end of the book, with quite some clear explanations about certain military decisions and actions, while at the beginning of the book you'll find a well-drawn map of Portugal into which this story refers to.
Storytelling is of a very good quality, for the author has made it possible to let the tale flow in an exciting and enjoyable manner, while at the same time his characters are very believable and they come wonderful to life within this excellent story.
The tale itself is set in the year AD 1810, during the Peninsular War that was fought between Britain and France of the Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte.
In this period of war General Wellington has to fight not only factions and in-fighting in Whitehall, but he has also a formidable enemy in Marshal Massena, who Wellington has to defeat if he wants to achieve his goal on Portuguese soil and fame in England and its Government.
Within this turmoil of this particular war, James Keane and his men have to infiltrate behind the lines of the enemy, before being able to supply General Wellington of the necessary intelligence to ensure him of the chance of that important victory over the French, while at the same time having to search and locate an invaluable book of ciphers in Coimbra.
And so James Keane and his men not only have to fight off different kind of factions, from either within or without, but also of layers of deceit and deceptions, whether they are spies or local fighters if they want to succeed in their mission by finding that invaluable book of ciphers without also getting distracted and involved by the trail of Massena's gold.
Surely recommended, for this book is really "A Gripping Historical Charge"!
another great book.
