Publisher's Summary
Ensign Richard Sharpe, newly made an officer, wishes he had stayed a sergeant after he is put in terrible danger by Sergeant Obadiah Hakeswill at the impregnable Gawilghur's ravine.
To regain his confidence and his authority, Sharpe will fight as he has never fought before.
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.
Please Note: The historical note is NOT included in this audiobook.
Critic Reviews
"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)

Great narration
The narration is so good that you can literally visualise the scene from which he is describing.

Cornwell the master!
Boy's own adventure with great battles and swordplay but Cornwell really allows us to get inside Sharpe' skin and feel all the betrayals, setbacks and triumphs as our own.

happy overall
the narrator does not quite hit sean beans accent all the time and at times other accents slip up. he does sound like he is into the story and exited at the right times. the story itself is exiting and the first account of british india I have read. would definitely recommend
