" Not my favorite in the series. This one is a bit unique, because the history is more fiction than fact, which is a shame. Overall, entertaining, with a surprise sad ending. "

" A Sharpe book that showcases the character's tactical & strategic mind, but is also rather heart rending. This one has a touch of the unexpected, which makes for a great read! "

" I know this is slightly (i.e. mostly) brain-candy, but Cornwell tells a rip-roaring, swashbuckling tale. These are a lot of fun and are actually quite enlightening about the history of the British army in the Napoleonic Era.
