The plot is ingenious, studded with interesting characters, intrigue, and - of course - the action scenes for which the author is justifiably famous. I literally could not put it down and read the book in one sitting. Highly recommended! Rating: 5 / 5 I’ve read all of the “Sharpe” novels by Cornwell and this is one of his finest works.

It's been a long time coming waiting for the new book on the Battle of Barrosa. Sharpe's Fury is definitely a book that anyone can enjoy and maybe spark an interest in a little known history that shaped the world. Rating: 5 / 5 Excellent read.

I was very suprised to see Sharpes Devil a couple of years later and to my mind this was a book too far in the series. Cornwell was always writing other books including the excellent Redcoat as well as his nautical thrillers. When he started the Starbuck chronicles I was delighted and followed Nates adventures in the same manner as I had Sharpe's. Then, after the Sharpe series had been shown on tv Cornwell abandoned "The Starbuck Chronicles" mid-series (after four books)and resurrected Sharpe. Not to sound too cynical but the only reason for this betrayal of fans who had bought the new books and were following Starbuck could only have been money...Cornwell betrayed and sacrificed the Starbuck fans for a newer and more lucrutive market...the new Sharpe fans worldwide who came to the books after the tv series. In order to continue to cash in along came all the new books each one inserted in a different period of Sharpe's career. If you have read the original series you won't recognise Sharpe's description in the new books..because it's Sean Bean!...Thanks Bernard, how's the yacht?

He journeys to England, Sergeant Harper by his side, to find out what became of them. Along the way, he uncovers an old enemy, the cowardly Sir Henry Simmerson, and a new one, the duplicitous Lord Fenner, who have connived to deceive everyone from Wellington to the Prince of Wales. Naturally, even though besotted by love for Sir Henry's niece, Jane Gibbons, Sharpe perseveres to uncover the treachery.
