Product Description

Review

Praise for Bernard Cornwell and the Sharpe series 'Cornwell describes military action brilliantly. He evokes all the sights and sounds and smells while managing to describe the fluctuations of the battle with enough vim to keep you in suspense!The Sharpe novels are wonderfully urgent and alive.' Daily Telegraph 'Cornwell has maintained a marvellously high standard throughout the series!brilliantly lucid and compellingly exciting.' Evening Standard 'Bernard Cornwell knows his man, knows how to harness his qualities to the services of good fiction, and does not miss a trick!Sharpe and his creator are national treasures.' Sunday Telegraph 'The insubordinate, sarcastic and oversexed Richard Sharpe returns!Cornwell delivers the usual mix of strategy and strength -- classic battle scenes and plenty of fisticuffs.' Daily Mirror --This text refers to the Paperback edition.


Synopsis

India, 1803. It is four years since Richard Sharpe earned his sergeant's stripes, and four years in which Sharpe seems to have discovered the easiest billet in the British army. But that comfort is rudely shattered when he witnesses a murderous act of treachery by an English officer who has defected from the East India Company. Sharpe is ordered to join the hunt for the renegade Englishman.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wellington and Sharpe - the beginning., 19 Dec 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Sharpe's Triumph (Paperback)
Having marched and fought with Richard Sharpe from the Peninsula to Waterloo and beyond, it was with great interest that I journeyed back in time with him, and indeed Wellesley, to India. "Tiger," in all honesty, I found difficult to get into, although by the end I was once more with Sharpe in the thick of the action. "Triumph," on the other hand, had me hooked from the very start, and I would say to the new Sharpe reader - start with "Tiger" and persevere. "Triumph" fills in a lot of gaps in the Sharpe story as a whole, and after that, "Fortress" awaits you - and how! By the time you have fought at Assaye, won through at Ahmednuggur, and conquered Gawilghur, you deserve a rest, and a leisurely sea-voyage back home to England. But by then the year is 1805, and you will have to sail close to the South-West tip of Spain, the cape of Trafalgar. Who knows what will happen?

4.0 out of 5 stars Sharpe at Assaye, 6 Aug 2007
By Didier (Ghent, Belgium) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Sharpe's Triumph (Paperback)
This book culminates with the battle of Assaye (September 23rd, 1803) which Wellington himself allegedly considered his finest victory. Before it gets to that however you're treated to the oh so familiar but never stale or boring ingredients of a typical Sharpe novel: colourful characters (one female too, off course), a fast-paced plot, vivid descriptions, and plenty of action.

Mindless escapism this surely is, but in that category few can rival Cornwell.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb, 22 Oct 2008
By chuckles "barnie884" (Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Sharpe's Triumph (Paperback)
I am so glad that Bernard Cornwell went back to do these. I was lucky enough to read all in date order (I got into these in the past 6 months). Reading the later books makes so much sense as they constantly refer back to previous exploits. It's really interesting to see him rising up the ranks, seems to make everything make sense. Typical rip-roaring Sharpe novel.... cant put them down!
