APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
In this action-packed historical adventure, Bernard Cornwell’s rough-hewn but fearless hero Richard Sharpe faces the toughest battle of his life. It’s 1815 and Sharpe, now a lieutenant colonel, gets a special assignment after the British Army defeats Napoleon at Waterloo. A powerful band of French loyalists, La Fraternité, are thought to be plotting revenge against the British, and it’s Sharpe’s job to ferret them out and bring them to justice. While hunting down La Fraternité’s leader, Sharpe also gets roped into a scheme to recover stolen art treasures. Cornwell’s ripping yarn makes the most of Sharpe’s instincts for warfare—the battle scenes are full of gore and thunder—but he also makes room for some welcome comic relief and intriguing glimpses of Sharpe’s life off the battlefield. Even if you’re a complete newcomer to this thrilling series, you’ll be on the edge of your seat!
