Love this book... 19 Jun 2007
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Sharpe, wrongly accused of murdering La Marquesa's husband after an interrupted duel, goes on the run to clear his name and find the real culprit. Along the way he has to rescue La Marquesa from a convent and a distinctly unpatriotic partisan, and escape from the French, who want to send him into the depths of France as a prisoner of war. Tempted though he is to spend the rest of the war with La Marquesa, he knows he has to get back to the army and his beloved regiment with his knowledge of the treachery cooked up by Major Ducos and a very clever Spanish priest. He escapes as the French fortress at Burgos explodes, and finds his way back to the South Essex in the midst of the Battle of Vitoria. Believing him to be dead, his regiment are naturally startled to see him, though as they have just lost their commanding officer, they are also very relieved to have him to lead them. In the aftermath of the battle Sharpe has to save La Marquesa once again from the treacherous El Maratife, and along the way Harper picks up enough gold and jewels from the French baggage to make his own and Sharpe's fortunes.

This is a fantastic novel, the battle scenes described with Cornwell's usual flair, and all the action in between wonderfully fast-paced and engaging. A brilliant read!

Sharpe Goes Rogue 4 Sep 2000
Format:Mass Market Paperback
First, I must confess, I am a fairly new passenger on the Sharpe bus. Being numbered 7 in the American series it was the 7th book I read, but one of my favorites! Sharpe is accused of a murder that he (of course) did not commit and is forced to "go rogue" to clear his name. Again he meets La Marquesa, the whore with the heart of gold, who helps him to forget his recently buried wife, and who provides him the opportunity to rescue the damsel in distress. Pierre Ducos provides one of the villains for this book, being the mastermind behind Sharpe's dishonour. Does Sharpe prevail? Does he what?

Honour Sharpe's way 31 Dec 2010
Format:Mass Market Paperback
If you have got this far in the Sharpe books you know what's coming.
Hardship, visceral fighting, appreciative women and victory.
Cornwell and Sharpe seldom disappoint.
If this is your 1st Sharpe book stop now and go back to the beginning,
Sharpe's Tiger you wont be disappointed.
Hardly highbrow stuff just a cracking read.
