Reviews"Excellently entertaining. If you love historical drama . . . then look no further." - Boston Globe "Fun page-turners that fan clubs all over the world are devoted to." - Wall Street Journal "The direct heir to Patrick O'Brian." - The Economist "The Sharpe novels do for the early 19th century land ampaigns what Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin series does for the sea. . . . His books do what good historical fiction must do--bring the period to life, and teach the reader something without making him feel as if he is back in school. On both counts, Cornwell succeeds admirably." - American Way "One of today's truly great storytellers." - Kirkus Reviews "Perhaps the greatest writer of historical adventure novels today." - Washington Post "Political intrigue, sex, roaring cannon and clashing steel, double crosses and righteous vengeance, honor, treachery and more sex. . . . Sharpe [is] a most likable fellow, and his adventures at sea make for a good summer read." - Charleston Post & Courier, "The direct heir to Patrick O'Brian." -- The Economist "Fun page-turners that fan clubs all over the world are devoted to." -- Wall Street Journal "Excellently entertaining. If you love historical drama . . . then look no further." -- Boston Globe "One of today's truly great storytellers." -- Kirkus Reviews
Synopsis"The greatest writer of historical adventures today." --Washington Post Critically acclaimed, perennial New York Times bestselling author Bernard Cornwell (Agincourt, The Fort, the Saxon Tales) makes real history come alive in his breathtaking historical fiction. Praised as "the direct heir to Patrick O'Brian" (Agincourt, The Fort), Cornwell has brilliantly captured the fury, chaos, and excitement of battle as few writers have ever done--perhaps most vividly in his phenomenally popular novels following the illustrious military career of British Army officer Richard Sharpe during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Chronicling Sharpe's involvement in the famous Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, Sharpe's Trafalgar finds the young ensign captive on a French warship and in gravest peril on the eve of the one of the most spectacular naval confrontations in history. Perhaps the San Francisco Chronicle said it best: "If only all history lessons could be as vibrant.", "The greatest writer of historical adventures today." -- Washington Post Critically acclaimed, perennial New York Times bestselling author Bernard Cornwell ( Agincourt, The Fort , the Saxon Tales) makes real history come alive in his breathtaking historical fiction.
