5.0 out of 5 stars A vivid view of the peroid, from the French veiw and clever., 21 Feb 2001

matt.goode@ic24.net (england) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bonaparte's Sons (Alain Lausard Adventure) (Paperback)

A book written in the format of the 'Sharpe' books, but from the French side. Containing vivid accounts of the period within France, from the lowest prisoner to calvary at the uprising of Napoleon Bonaparte to a General of France. Actions and battles are written as if you could have been there, as well as the little battles that concern the main caracter, Alain Lausard who has a past that is as dangerous to him as France's enemies over there boarders. I realy like this book, and would also mention that it does not get boged down in enharent facts but also has a funny side which makes this an entertaining read that i was not able to put down until i finished. I rate this book highly and as it mentions on the front of the book "Fighting a revolutionary war, renegades are heroes...".

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent read, 30 July 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Bonaparte's Sons (Alain Lausard Adventure) (Paperback)

I've read dozens of novels set in the Napoleonic Wars, all invariably from the British point of view. Finally there is a series narrated from the French perspective. And its an excellent book. Think of the Sharpe series, substituting Richard Sharpe with an aristocrat serving as a cavalry Sergeant in the Republican army.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good thinking, 7 Jun 2006

Rwth of Cornovii (Birmingham UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bonaparte's Sons (Hardcover)

I read this at least a year ago, so this is going to be vague. I particularly enjoyed the training aspects of this book, and the fact that it was written from a French point of view. It didn't get too bogged down in military detail, and emphasised the camaraderie. Laussard's murky past is not a handicap, and promises interest in later books.

Great literature it isn't but, it is good, entertaining fun, and keeps the attention going. It has been unfairly compared with Cornwell but I am sorry Richard Howard has been so shy about his alter ego. I have my own opinion of who he might be, but would like to know.
