5.0 out of 5 stars Another masterful tale by Bernard Cornwell - I highly recommend it
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2016

As usual, Cornwell applies great writing and superior story telling woven into a fantastic tapestry of fiction and history. I'm a Cornwell fan and I love the Sharpe series in it's written form. I watched the TV series long ago and thought it was very good until I decided to read the books. The books are far and away superior to the TV series in depth, description, detail and content. I wouldn't say you should ignore the TV series but whatever you do, read the books. This is another interesting tale of the adventures of Sharpe and Harper, yes beyond belief in the realm of reality but Cornwell suspends my disbelief in his storytelling and as is always the case makes sure every victory, every win, every positive moment comes with a high personal price that leaves readers concerned for the wellbeing of the fictional characters within. What's a good hero without a villainous equal who in Sharpe's case must finally be beaten with brute force and tactical cunning. This book is filled with action both on and off the battlefield and pits Sharpe against domestic enemies. As I said, Cornwell doesn't give anything away to a character for free so even though the battle may be won, the cost may be more than a reasonable person would accept. This book may have some wins that have matching disappointment or tragedies. I highly recommend the book and suggest you should start at the beginning with Sharpe's Tiger and read straight through to the last book. Each book is hours of inexpensive entertainment.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sharpe's Regiment
Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2014

Four stars. Not for the writing, but for the professional narration. I had to speed it up otherwise it lost the rich drama of the story and all of the women's voices sounded a like.

I have actually read all of the books and more than twice. This is my first go round with professional narration. I am not reading them in order this time because I know these stories so well that I could probably narrate them verbatim.

I recommend these books to any one interested in the story of the Peninsula Battles of the Napoleonic Wars. I am told that I am too blood thirsty for a female but I see this as and era of justified wars but with the venal avarice of those who ran the war from the rear. In so many cases the leadership was so bad that tis a wonder the Allies prevailed at all.

Officer ranks filled with son's of the rich with nothing other than privilege and their snobbery to serve them. I look forward to reading from the French prospective. Recommendations please.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like military history, you will like Richard Sharpe
Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2018

I am fascinated by the character of Sharpe. I keep returning to his exploits, like catching up with an old friend. What has he done since the last time I saw him? Cornwell writes so well, whether it is the Riflemen of the British army during the Napoleonic wars, or the US Civil War, or the 8th century when the Danes almost took over Britain. The people who participate in these events are real, with emotional and psychological lives outside of the historical events taking place around them. Even though some of his books have many characters, Cormwell invests them all with memorable personalities and character traits. The battles are described with fine detail, but no gratuitous violence. The amazing new weapons of their times are described in detail, whether they are cannons or longbows. At the end of the day, I keep reading because I like Sharpe. Were he my contemporary he could be either my business partner or my lover. I would trust him.

The final victories in Spain mean English boots are marching on French soil for the first time in 20 years. The fighting becomes even more fierce as Napoleon’s forces are challenged to begin defending their own homeland and only undaunted courage and cold steel can overcome skillfully entrenched seasoned troops. Another fascinating read and well worth the time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cornwell is quite good at describing military action
Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2015

Cornwell is quite good at describing military action, both small group and large scale battles. He evokes vivid mental images of places and movement in and around them. This story dealt with the actions of English military authorities in England and included no military actions. Although very important to the Sharpe story, it was slower paced and had less tension than many of the other Sharpe episodes.Still, quite good!

É impressionante como um autor consegue variar tanto, com tão poucos personagens. Qualquer livro da série vale a pena, mas até por esse se passar na Inglaterra, fica até mais interessante.

Ha saputo ben amalgamare lo Sharpe degli inizi con quello che deve essere pronto a diventare un ufficiale e gentiluomo e trovare una donna adatta alla nuova situazione.
