Publisher's Summary

Richard Sharpe, travelling home aboard the 'Revenant', meets Admiral Nelson and his fleet, on what was a calm October day off Cape Trafalgar.

Soldier, hero, rogue - Sharpe is the man you always want on your side. Born in poverty, he joined the army to escape jail and climbed the ranks by sheer brutal courage. He knows no other family than the regiment of the 95th Rifles whose green jacket he proudly wears.

What the critics say

"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)

Good , worth listening to

It’s a good story, I’ve decided to listen to all twenty three of the Sharpe series novels . This is book four , in chronicle order. The books were published out of order. You can listen to either order. I prefer chronicle

Excellent listen!

Bernard Cornwell has done it again! Like all of the Sharpe books, this is a classic and Rupert Farley does a great job of capturing the action! Will definitely listen again!
