Customer Review: Sharpe! Sharpe! Sharpe! I encourage you to read these books in order of the chronology of the events, rather than the order in which they are written. If you've been doing that, you've probably wondered whatever happened to Sergeant Obadiah ("I can't be killed") Hakeswill who we last read about... more info
Customer Review: I am sad. "Sharpe's Fury" was my last Sharpe novel. I'd read the others in more or less chronological order, then gone back to read this, the most recently published and inserted midway in the series. For me, there will be no more Sharpe wenches. There will be no more craven aristocrats, in... more info
Customer Review: I highly recommend that you read Sharpe's Enemy in the order of the chronology that it reflects. Although this book was number six in the original publication sequence, Sharpe's Enemy is fifteenth in chronological order of events. As the book opens, Sharpe receives an unexpected message that... more info
Customer Review: I'm sort of glad I waited to begin this series until it was virtually complete, since they're written out of order by their internal chronology. It's mid-1810 now, and Wellington has finally gotten a grip on the French attempts to sew up Portugal and thereby deny access to the entire coastline of... more info
Customer Review: "Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, "VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY," says the Lord. -- Romans 12:19 War's end is always a mixed blessing for professional soldiers and sailors. They are tired of fighting, glad to be alive, but wonder... more info
Customer Review: It's the early fall of 1803 and Richard Sharpe of His Majesty's army in India has had his sergeant's stripes for four years. He's good at his job, but he has developed the ambition of becoming an officer, if only so he can go back home someday and swagger into his old haunts with a sash and sword.... more info
Customer Review: It's the summer of 1805 and Ensign Richard Sharpe (who, not so long ago, was Private and then Sergeant Sharpe) has been on duty in India for six years. Having grown up in a workhouse and then on the streets of London, he regards India as much "home" as anywhere -- but now he's heading back to... more info
Customer Review: How did I not know how amazing these books were until now?! Typically I lean to scifi & fantasy & some historical or contemporary fiction. But over the years I would hear about the "Sharpe" series - and that there were something like 18 of these books. Didn't sound like my cup of tea really.... more info
Customer Review: I've recently become a huge Bernard Cornwell fan. My first Cornwell book was Sharpe's Enemy. I didn't know anything about the author or the series. I was bored, I picked it up and read it. I loved the story, but it would be another 5 years when I read the next one. I went back to the beginning and... more info
