Overview:
Step inside the smoke and thunder of the Napoleonic Wars with this brand new four-book paperback collection following Richard Sharpe's earliest, most formative campaigns. From the fortress walls of Seringapatam to the deck of a ship off Cape Trafalgar, Bernard Cornwell's meticulous storytelling turns real 19th-century history into pulse-pounding adventure. Sharpe's Tiger, Prey, Fortress and Trafalgar chart his rise from private to trusted officer, an ideal entry point for new readers and a treat for long-time fans.
About the Books:
Sharpe's Tiger throws Private Richard Sharpe into the siege of Seringapatam, infiltrating the court of the Tippoo of Mysore to rescue a captured officer while evading the cruel Sergeant Hakeswill. Sharpe's Prey sends newly promoted Lieutenant Sharpe into a Copenhagen crawling with spies, racing to stop the Danish fleet falling into French hands as Europe edges towards war. Sharpe's Fortress finds Ensign Sharpe distrusted by his own officers and hunted by an old enemy during the campaigns of western India, a tense study of loyalty and survival. Finally, Sharpe's Trafalgar sweeps him from a merchant ship into one of history's most famous naval battles, crossing paths with Admiral Nelson as French and British fleets collide. Together, these four novels showcase Cornwell's hallmark blend of hard-won historical accuracy and breathless pacing, tracing Sharpe's journey from raw recruit to seasoned soldier across India, Denmark and the high seas, each a complete adventure that also builds a vivid, continuous arc.
