The British army is in flight, but not Craven, who remains in Spain to continue the fight.

The Battle of Talavera was a great success, but not the fatal blow many had hoped for. Now the French move to encircle the British army in Spain. A gruelling and disheartening withdrawal to Portugal is the only course of action to save the army. The enemy must be slowed if there is to be any hope of victory on the Iberian Peninsula. Spanish forces must be supported to continue the fight, and Craven is selected to go to their aid. Tasked with delivering desperately needed weapons to the Spanish guerrillas, Craven must run the gauntlet to urgently deliver the weapons against all odds.

'Against All Odds' is the third novel in the 'Craven's War' series, telling the exciting adventure of one rogue's journey through the Napoleonic Wars as he tries to stay alive and make his fortune.
