SynopsisThe first book in Bernard Cornwell's epic Sharpe series, which completely transports the reader to an unforgettable time and place in history. At Talavera in July of 1809, Captain Richard Sharpe, bold, professional, and ruthless, prepares to lead his men against the armies of Napoleon into what will be the bloodiest battle of the war. Sharpe has earned his captaincy, but there are others, such as the foppish Lieutenant Gibbons and his uncle, Colonel Henry Simmerson, who have bought their commissions despite their incompetence. After their cowardly loss of the regiment's colors, their resentment toward the upstart Sharpe turns to treachery, and Sharpe must battle his way through sword fights and bloody warfare to redeem the honor of his regiment by capturing the most valued prize in the French Army--a golden Imperial Eagle, the standard touched by the hand of Napoleon himself., After the cowardly incompetence of two officers besmirches their name, Captain Richard Sharpe must redeem the regiment by capturing the most valued prize in the French Army--a golden Imperial Eagle, the standard touched by the hand of Napoleon himself.

Exciting throughout, just like all Cornwell books I have read so far.
Happened to pick up a Bernard Cornwell novel last summer at a friend's cottage. It was so good I got hooked immediately on the character of Sharpe and on Cornwell's writing style. I have been tracking down all the Sharpe's books. Just finished these two recently purchased and loved them as much as the previous 8 I have read. I highly recommend for anyone that is into historical fiction, adventure, and nail-biting plots.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
