Review

'Exciting, exuberant! leaves the reader waiting for the next' Irish Times

Product Description

Richard Sharpe and the Destruction of Almeida, August 1810 Bold, professional and determined, Richard Sharpe embarks on a desperate mission. He must recover the treasure, vital to the success of the war, now hidden behind enemy lines. The gold is in the possession of a powerful guerrilla leader, feared by ally and enemy alike. And he has no love for Sharpe, the man who has stolen his woman. But Sharpe's fiercest battles lie with the British officers, ignorant of his deadly secret and mistrustful of his ruthless methods. The Complete Sharpe Collection with a new introduction by the author

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read and series, 18 Jun 2009

S. Amos (Chichester W Sussex) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Sharpe's Gold: Richard Sharpe and the Destruction of Almeida, August 1810 (Paperback)

I am reading my way through the Richard Sharpe series and if you like historical drama then this is right up your street. The descriptive writting takes you right to the time and place and you live the story yourself as you read it. Well worth the purchase

Hornblower Fan "Napoleonic Nut" (Sydney, NSW) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sharpe's Gold (Paperback)

This is an excellent book, but take care it was first published in 1981 so you may already have it on your book case!

D. Cook "Last_Drum73" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Sharpe's Gold: Richard Sharpe and the Destruction of Almeida, August 1810 (Paperback)

Incrediable read. Non-stop action and story never lets you go. Sharpe is as daring as ever, Harper is as comical and the battles are as visual.

I love the new book cover artwork.
