" 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. "

" 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. "

" 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? "

" 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.
