" Bernard Cornwell is simply the best writer of historical military fiction in the business. He masterfully includes details of dress, custom, speech and individual traits that take the reader into the story, without bogging the plot down.
This tale, a war story in the fragile peace between Napoleon's reigns, is a fascinating journey into the chaos of victory and the bureaucracy of both victor and vanquished. Sharpe faces unexpected challenges and. as usual, uses street-borne perseverance and cunning to cleverly overcome them. Along the way, he loses a cheating wife and gains a faithful one.
The tale is compelling, absolutely believable and superbly voiced by Frederick Davidson. I am continually amazed at Davidson's ability to mimic every accent, from gutter-born Cockneys to aristocrats and even Americans. A listener knows instantly what character is speaking. This book is a great listen. "

" Great finish to the Sharpe series. Or it it? Sharpe fights in the battle of Toulouse at the closing days of the Napoleonic Wars only to face a court-martial over being accused of stealing Napoleon's personal treasure. Now, he is being hunted by his own army as he fights to clear his name. But it's not over yet. Napoleon will come back from his exile on Elba to face his Waterloo. And Sharpe will return. "

" 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. "

" A great book that shows the hero in time of peace. Sharpe's Revenge describes how quickly a hero can be disgraced, lose all the connections, money, and love. It is a book of betrayal, scheming, and soldierly perseverance. "
