About this audiobook
The Iberian Peninsula, 1809.
French troops led by one of Napoleon's best generals are massing on the border. Wellington's outnumbered force and his unreliable Spanish allies need to pick off the smaller French units if they are to stand their ground.
For that they need information: accurate intelligence on numbers, arms and whereabouts. That's where Captain Keane and his company of reformed scouting officers are invaluable tools - despite being unpopular with the regular soldiers.
But it soon becomes apparent that someone high up in Wellington's headquarters is a spy for the French. Only someone able to travel widely outside the camp, someone privy to battle plans, could be the double agent - and Keane's enemies within the army are quick to point the finger. Keane must defend his crew against their accusers - or root out the traitor himself.
Keane's Challenge draws a fascinating picture of a disparate group of men brought together in a Peninsular War adventure that sees maverick hero Keane ride again.

I've loved this game for years, Im glad they finally brought it back. My biggest complaint is how frequent the forced ads are - like after EVERY level AND now Im getting them before I even play the first level when I open up the app!! If there was a way to pay to remove them, I would absolutely pay for it so long as it's a reasonable price point. This developer has never been this greedy until now and it's extremely disappointing.
