Cornwell is without peer when it comes to historical fiction of this age and time. The British against the French, Spanish, and India's formidable hordes. Sharpe is the lead in each story and the series captures his rise from a private to high officer ranks. Sharpe's romantic affairs are tastefully presented, but romance does never alter his quest for the battle and his vigorous pursuit of his foes. Sharpe's interplay with some of the other lead characters Cornwell develops, provides a personal touch most welcome in this story war time at its most furious. And I do not believe anyone can describe a battle, whether on land or sea, as Cornwell does. Sha rpe's Trafalgar is a striking example. Read full review.
