Publisher Description

Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe series has consistently ridden the top of international best-seller lists since the first book appeared 18 years ago. Featured on American television by Masterpiece Theatre, the charming, valiant Richard Sharpe has amassed a huge fan club all his own. A guttersnipe who has risen through the ranks of the British army, Ensign Sharpe is sailing home to England from his latest campaign against Napoleon. Anticipating an uneventful voyage, the dashing young maverick discovers the intriguing and very married Lady Grace Hale on board the Calliope. But just as he wins his way into her heart, the ship is fired upon and, suddenly, he finds himself in the thick of one of history's most spectacular incidents: the Battle of Trafalgar. Patrick Tull's vibrant narration bedazzles listeners with this breathtaking retelling of one of Europe's most ferocious sea battles.

    " Love the Sharpes Rifle series and this one is no exception. Bernard Cornwall does a beautiful job with historical novels and his characters are vivid. "

    " The best of the Sharpe's so far (in story-date order). Great set-up. Great pace. Great characters (both heroes and vilains). Great action. Great moments of history. Doesn't overuse the word great. "

    " Excellent episode in the life of Richard Sharpe. Love the way Cornwell manages just the right mix of action,description and characterization to make his books lively and involving. You really care about Sherpe because he is basically a good and moral person. He says of himself: "I'm a soldier, not a bully." Woder if I like theses books so much because I saw the TV series first and now I always see and hear Sean Bean as I read the books. "

    " This reminded me of Master and Commander. It's cool how he adapted this to a sea-faring adventure. "

    " Another great Sharpe book. Each book seems to have a different villain, a different romance, but the same brittish hero. I guess that make's him the James Bond of the early 19th century. "

    " This book puts the hero, a British soldier, on ships at the battle of Trafalgar. I have enjoyed the series but, so far, this one is probably my favorite. The characters were more engaging. "

    " Ever since finishing O'Brien's Captain Aubrey series, I've been pining for a good sea battle book. This book filled the void in spades! Can't wait to read what happens next! "

    " OK this is a bit far fetched. Sharpe on a ship homeward bound after his INdian adventures JUST happens to come across Trafalgar. But what the heck it gives us a chance to have some Cornwell battle magic applied to the sea battle. "

    " In short? Bernard Cornwell's foray into CS Forester territory, as the soldier Richard Sharpe finds himself entangled up in events leading to the Battle of Trafalgar "

    " Surely the low point of the series! Too contrived. Sharpe may be a fictional hero, but was it really necessary to give him a key role at Trafalgar? "

    " Another excellent Sharpe adventure, this one set on the high seas. Nice to read a profile of Admiral Nelson. Can't wait for the next book...which I'll have to actually READ. On PAPER. "

    " Not my favorite Sharpe book, possibly because the British expedition to Copenhagen was such an obvious bit of idiotic international thuggery. Not Britain's finest hour by any means. And in character with that, Sharpe seems even more of a brutal thug than usual himself. "

    " I don't know if I'm buying Cornwell's utopic view of 19th century Denmark. The Danish books that I've read don't paint in such a positive light. "
