Sharpe’s job as Captain of the Light Company is under threat and he has made a new enemy, a Portuguese criminal known as Ferragus. Discarded by his regiment, Sharpe wages a private war against Ferragus – a war fought through the burning, pillaged streets of Coimbra, Portugal’s ancient university city.
Sharpe’s Escape begins on the great, gaunt ridge of Bussaco where a joint British and Portuguese army meets the overwhelming strength of Marshall Massena’s crack troops. It finishes at Torres Vedras where the French hopes of occupying Portugal quickly die. —Book promo @ goodreads.com
This is the first posting that I have tried using my HP EliteBook 840. I’m making progress with the setup and getting all the apps that I use installed. The HP Stream has a 11.6″ screen versus this EliteBook with 14″, that has me somewhat confused because I’m in such a habit of where I need to move on the screen but should be use to it in a couple off days. I have all my Bookmarks transferred as well as the files for my Virtual Walk Maps and have installed the Free Office Planmaker that I use for all my spreadsheets. Setup the keyboard so I can type special characters when not in HTML mode. So all in all not doing too bad after having a new to me laptop for only a little over 24 hours. Typed this up yesterday to be posted today.
