Book description
Three classic Richard Sharpe adventures
Richard Sharpe and the Peace of 1814
It is 1814. Rumours abound that Napoleon has surrendered, been murdered,
or fled. But before the French are finally defeated and Sharpe can lay
down his sword, one of the bloodiest conflicts of the war must be
fought: the battle for the city of Toulouse.
Sharpe and the Waterloo Campaign, 15 June to 18 June 1815
It is 1815. Sharpe is serving on the personal staff of the Prince of
Orange, who refuses to listen to Sharpe's reports of an enormous army,
led by Napoleon, marching towards them.
Richard Sharpe and the Emperor, 1820-21
Five years after the Battle of Waterloo, Sharpe's peaceful retirement in
Normandy is shattered. An old friend, Don Blas Vivar, is missing in
Chile, reported dead at rebel hands - a report his wife refuses to
believe. She appeals to Sharpe to find out the truth. '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.
