Product Description

Review

'His best yet! I read or devoured this in a single sitting' Eastern Daily Post 'Cornwell! has no equal in this kind of historical adventure story' Daily Express


Product Description

Richard Sharpe and the Peace of 1814. It is 1814. After a long and exhausting series of battles the British and Spanish armies are pushing into south-western France from Spain. Rumours abound that Napoleon has surrendered, been murdered, or fled. But before the French are finally defeated, and Sharpe can lay down his sword, one of the bloodiest conflicts of the war must be fought: the battle for the city of Toulouse. Sharpe's war is not over with the victory. Accused of stealing a consignment of Napoleon's treasure en route to Elba, Sharpe must elude his captors and track down the unknown enemy who has tried to incriminate him. Accompanied by his comrade, Captain William Frederickson, Major Richard Sharpe pursues with energy, venom and unflinching resolve an ingenious and devastating revenge.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enthralled once again by Sharpe, 6 Aug 2000
Each time I pick up a new Sharpe novel I always think it's going to be just like the last one. And to some extent it is. Cornwell's "same old" formula is most definitely a recipe for success. Once again I was gripped by Sharpe's exploits and found it hard to put the book down. I've read all the Sharpe peninsular war novels in chronological order up to this one, and though I cannot now recall where one finishes and the next one starts I almost feel like I've been there with him. Sharpe, Harper and comrades seem like good friends. And that's why, without spoiling the story I found the manner of the parting of Sharpe, Harper and Frederickson quite moving. Sharpe is unusually aware of his own mortality in this tale, not so do or die at all. I suppose we all change as we get older. Ducos, however, does not change, if you've met him and hated him before, you'll hate him just as much now. This is as good as any Sharpe I've read, give it a whirl.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another great adventure for Sharpe, 22 Oct 2007
By Didier (Ghent, Belgium) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This Sharpe-novel, as many others, begins with a battle scene: Sharpe, by now a staff officer of General Nairn, is present at (and participates in) the final battle before the capture of Toulouse. Soon after the allies learn that Napoleon actually abdicated two days earlier in Paris, and the Peninsular war has ended. Sharpe, at first, is glad and relieved: the years begin to take their toll, as a married man he feels more reluctant than before to risk life and limb, and he yearns to settle in rural England to live of the king's ransom he secured after the battle of Vitoria.

However, things soon take a turn for the worse when Sharpe is wrongfully accused not only of having stolen Napoleon's personal treasure which the new French government is eager to retrieve, but of having murdered the sole witness. So Sharpe must escape, and as a fugitive for both the English and French authorities find out who's behind the scheme that could cost him his life.

Because of the sheer number of comparable novels Cornwell has written it might seem almost normal that, yet again, this is a superb adventure novel, perhaps one of the best in the entire series, and of a quality many other authors never or rarely achieve. The plot is extremely well done, with Sharpe at first groping in the dark to find out who's out to get him, and when he does discover the culprit he makes it absolutely clear that no one crosses Major Richard Sharpe and gets away with it.

And now, sadly, there's only "Sharpe's Waterloo" left for me to read!

5.0 out of 5 stars In all sorts of trouble, 22 Oct 2008
By chuckles "barnie884" (Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
Is this the end of Richard Sharpe.......... our hero is arrested and there seems no way out. Ducos has him stitched up good and proper! As usual a classic Sharpe novel with blood, guts and glory....... getting near the end of a superb series!
