About the Books
Sharpe's Rifles opens with Sharpe and his Riflemen cut off behind enemy lines, forced to strike a risky bargain with Spanish partisans that leads to a bold assault on the Holy City of Santiago de Compostela. In Sharpe's Havoc, with northern Portugal overrun by the French, Sharpe is stranded deep in hostile territory, where he crosses paths with the future Duke of Wellington and forges unlikely alliances to survive. Sharpe's Eagle sees him confronting treachery within his own ranks while the French bear down at the pivotal Battle of Talavera, testing his leadership under fire. Sharpe's Gold follows a high-stakes race to recover a hidden cache of Spanish treasure needed to keep Wellington's campaign funded, pitting Sharpe's cunning against desperate odds. Finally, Sharpe's Escape strips away the safety of the regiment as Sharpe fights a personal, street-level vendetta amid the chaos of a burning Coimbra. Together these five novels trace Sharpe's rise from a resourceful junior officer to a hardened, battle-tested leader, blending meticulously researched history with the grit, humour and camaraderie that have made Cornwell one of the most trusted names in military historical fiction.
