“The greatest writer of historical adventures today.”
—Washington Post
Richard Sharpe. Soldier, hero, rogue—the man you always want on your side. Born in poverty, he joined the army to escape jail and climbed the ranks by sheer brutal courage. He knows no other family than the regiment of the 95th Rifles, whose green jacket he proudly wears.

Great
Excellent read
Sharps Tiger
Marvelous story and read. I will certainly read more about soldier Sharpe. Lots of action and intregue. Extremely detailed so patience has to be exercised to finish and appreciate. That the story is based mostly on historical fact makes it even more interesting.
Brilliant writing
Such an exciting story that I just couldn’t put it down. Cornwell did an incredible amount of research, and it is a pleasure to learn such wonderful history while being thoroughly entertained. I can’t wait to read more Sharpe books.
