Book description
Three classic Richard Sharpe adventures
Richard Sharpe and the Vitoria Campaign, February to June 1813
Major Richard Sharpe awaits the opening shots of the army's new campaign
with grim expectancy. Victory depends on the increasingly fragile
alliance between Britain and Spain - an alliance that must be maintained
at any cost.
Richard Sharpe and the Invasion of France, June to November 1913
Major Sharpe's men are in mortal danger - not from the French, but from
the bureaucrats of Whitehall. Unless reinforcements can be brought from
England, the regiment will be disbanded.
Richard Sharpe and the Winter Campaign, 1814
The invasion of France is under way and the British Navy has called upon
the services of Major Richard Sharpe. He and a small force of riflemen
are to capture a fortress and secure a landing on the French coast - one
of the most dangerous missions of his career. 'Sharpe and his creator
are national treasures.' Sunday Telegraph
'Bernard Cornwell is a literary miracle. Year after year, hail, rain,
snow, war and political upheavals fail to prevent him from producing the
most entertaining and readable historical novels of his generation.'
Daily Mail
'Cornwell's narration is quite masterly and supremely well-researched.' Observer
'The best battle scenes of any writer I've ever read, past or present.
Cornwell really makes history come alive.' George R. R. Martin Bernard
Cornwell was born in London, raised in Essex, and now lives mainly in
the USA with his wife. In addition to the hugely successful Sharpe
novels, Bernard Cornwell is the author of the Starbuck Chronicles, the
Warlord trilogy, the Grail Quest series, the Alfred series and
standalone battle books Azincourt and The Fort.
