" This is the last of the Richard Sharpe's novels and not one of the best of the series. The author's inspiration reserves seem to have been exhausted. One can almost hear him say " if I have to write one more Richard Sharpe battle...". Nevertheless, Sharpe's avid followers will mis his adventures. We will have to console ourselves with one of the other excellent series by Bernard Cornwell. "

" There's no way I would've read something like this normally. Never quite got the ITV historical drama with Sean Bean, but my father-in-law recommended it and being a fan of the Flashman books (which does the same 'putting a fictional character into real events' kinda thing) I was willing to give it a go. And I have to say it's blooming marvellous. A rip-roaring read. "

" The last Sharpe novel, chronologically, and for me, the most disappointing. The story wasn't as engaging as the earlier stories, and it seems that Bernard Cornwell was just going through the motions with this one. Undoubtedly he is capable of writing much better, and I'm glad that the rest of the Sharpe books were such a pleasure to read. If you've read the previous 20 Sharpe books, then of course you'll read this one as well, and while it's far from being bad, it won't hit you between the eyes like some of the others. "

" Now that I have read all of the books in the series I am sadly wanting for more. The series ended too soon and I want the series to continue. Great books and this lives up to my expectations. This series is a must read! "

" After the Napoleonic wars, the British had a ready-made force that they used to influence world events anywhere they could reach with their navy. One such place was South America, and they did their best to thwart Spanish influence in the 'new world'... "

" The Richard Sharpe series is a magnificent work of historical fiction. Bernard Cornwell has written an amazing series following Sharpe from a private in India to a Lt. Colonel at Waterloo and then a civilian farmer. "

" Napoleon is exiled to St Helena and the war in Europe is over. That does not mean that the world is at peace and Richard Sharpe is off to Chile to find a friend lost in a Chilean war for independence from Spain. The last book in the series and it is time to say good bye to Sharpe. Makes me sad. "

" As usual, Cornwell brings history alive, this time in Chile. Sharpe's Devil is the story of Chilean Admiral Thomas Cochrane's campaign to drive the Spanish out of Chile during its revolution, with Sharpe and Harper's help of course. "

" That's it, after this there are no more. (unless Cornwell takes pity on us and sharpens his pencil - see what I did there?)
Not one of the better stories, although it's nice to get a bit of Sharpe after the whole Peninsular War thing.
