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. In Sharpe's Prey, Sharpe must prove his mettle once again after performing courageously on Wellesley's battlefields in India and the Iberian Peninsula, as he undertakes a secret mission to Copenhagen, Denmark in 1807 to prevent a resurgent Napoleon from capturing the Danish fleet. 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.

English history made believable, and fun.
Bernard Cornwell's series on "John Sharpe" is an incredibly accurate rendition of the English Army from late 1700's through the 1800's as John Sharp, a private in the Army begins to move up through the ranks, simply because he knows how to strategize and fight. He keeps saving important people who then move him up in rank, much to the disgust of those officers who bought their military positions. It is a fascinating historically correct story that will compel you to keep reading.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
